Returning again on Friday 22 November 2024, Steeltoes & Stilettos is an annual fundraising event all tradies should support. It's a construction industry night that combines entertainment with a serious message about the ongoing risks of asbestos.
The Master Plumbers and Gasfitters Association of WA is an event sponsor and we strongly encourage everyone to support this worthwhile cause.
About asbestos, the silent killer
Asbestos was widely used in the construction industry between 1945 and 1990, before eventually being banned in 2003. Australia was one of the highest users of asbestos and buildings constructed or renovated before 1990 are likely to contain it in some form.
There is no known safe level of asbestos exposure. It is estimated that more than 4000 people die every year in Australia from asbestos - nearly four times the annual road toll.
About Steeltoes & Stilettos
Steeltoes & Stilettos is a red-carpet fundraiser where tradies compete to be top fundraisers so they can walk their trade's runway with a model. This year it will be at the Rendezvous Hotel Scarborough on Friday 22 November.
The organisers are Reflections, a not-for-profit that reduces the impact of asbestos and brings hope to those affected.
So many ways to get involved
