This Infocus report presents information on occupational asbestos exposure in Australia, using data from the Australian Mesothelioma Registry (AMR). Mesothelioma patients recorded on the AMR can complete a voluntary asbestos exposure assessment to determine the circumstances of potential past exposure. This report presents results for the three most commonly assigned job-specific modules (or ‘categories’) – ‘Trades’, ‘Land transport’ and ‘Water transport’.
Mesothelioma may be associated with occupational and/or non-occupational asbestos exposure. Historically, occupational exposure usually occurred in occupations linked to asbestos mining and the manufacturing and use of asbestos-containing materials (Safe Work Australia 2014).
