Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations Tony Burke has endorsed ACCI’s nomination of Jennifer Low, director of health, safety, resilience, and digital policy, to the Asbestos and Silica Safety Eradication Council (ASSEC). Jen will attend the next meeting on 31 July along with Tracey Browne from AiGroup, the other employer representative. Those interested in asbestos or silica matters should contact Jen Low, as there are two dedicated reference groups for these topics.
