The Department of Labour administers a register for people who believe they have been exposed to asbestos. It is not necessary to prove that there has been an exposure to be registered and there is no screening or health surveillance performed on those registered.
New Zealand Defence Force personnel who believe they have been exposed to asbestos are free to put their name on the Department of Labour Asbestos Register if they wish.
The New Zealand Defence Force has included information on your Service medical record and as these records are computerised, a register can be generated for all those who have been exposed to asbestos (or any other significant environmental hazard) in the future, if this is required.
