Darryl Dixon’s Masters research is comparing current Australian emergency services training, policies and procedures when the likelihood of exposure to asbestos is suspected or confirmed. Darryl has seen asbestos in many emergency situations as a former member of the NSW Police Force and as a current volunteer for NSW Rural Fire Service. His research is ensuring that these policies and procedures comply with Australian Standards and best practice policies. His findings will support the recommendations of the Asbestos Management Review, including an asbestos awareness workshop that can
be used by any emergency service or organisation to provide an induction on how to work with asbestos in the workplace or at incident scenes. Darryl presented his research at the CRC’s Research Advisory Forum in 2018.
