SafeWork NSW testing has found no respirable asbestos fibres in the coloured sand products named in the ACCC’s voluntary recall. As results were below respirable levels, the products can now be double-bagged and disposed of in red-lid bins. The recall covered Kadink Sand, Rainbow Sand and Creatistics Coloured Sand sold through major retailers.

Know the warnings

Emergencies can escalate quickly, so staying alert is essential.

Warnings are issued by the emergency services when a hazard is active or predicted. These warnings may relate to bush fires, storms, floods, cyclones, tsunamis, extreme heat, or severe weather.

The advice will come in one of three levels:

Advice;
Watch and Act; and
Emergency Warning.

Knowing what the warnings mean before an emergency can help you make faster, safer decisions.
