摘要：
The Victorian Asbestos Eradication Agency (VAEA) was established to develop a long-term plan for the prioritised removal of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) from Victorian government-owned buildings. The safest and most sustainable way to end the lethal asbestos legacy is through prioritised, planned, and safe removal of ACMs from the built environment. In this article, we describe our consolidated asbestos register (AIRSystem); our custom risk assessment model that informs prioritised removal, and our work towards ending the lethal asbestos legacy.
