I did my painting apprenticeship back in the early to mid 1970's in Perth with State Housing Commission as it was known then. A big part of the job included dry scraping flaking paint off the old fibro homes and burning off the old paint on the weatherboards. We had no gloves or masks and we were breathing in the dust and it was all over our arms, face and clothes.
We had no OHS back then and no warnings of asbestos danger or protective clothing, you just did the job. Keeping my fingers crossed that all remains well.
