MSBS will be delayed, take no notice! The legisla. tive process to allow MSBS to commence operations on October 1 1991 is still on track_

* * * Note that the time scale to decide o n whether DFRDB or MS BS best suits your requirements runS from September 1 1991 through to September 30 1992. There is no need to rush your decision.

* * * Ir you transrer to MSBS, it really does not matter when you 'sign the form', as everyone transrerring \o\'i1I ha\'e their date or joining backdated to October 1 1991 . This means that if you are eligible for all or some of the Retention benefit on October 11991 but do not transfer 10 MSBS until July 1992, you slill receive the benefit based on what your rank, pay and years of sen'ice w'ere on October 1 1991.

* * * Talking of the MSBS Re tention Be nefit. if you are tempted by the cash you can receive from the Be nefit , remember you must transfer to MSBS to be eligible. T he MSBS discharge/resignation ru le in part icular are very different from those in D FR DB. When making your decision ensure you will be happy with your long term as well as your short term benefits.

* * * Keep an eye open for new MSBS leaflets at your unit .

They explain: • the current superannuation taxation rules, • minor improvements to DFRDB, • Leave Without Pay provisions in MSBS. and • how entitlements ror personnel eligible to trans·

The report or the Inde pendent R eview or Asbestos in O e£e nce has made a number or recomme ndations to the Federal Go\·crnment.

Many of the recommen­dations are already with in existance within the Navy.

Those that are not. are being incorporated into policy documents which are in the final stages of prep­aration within HQADF and Navy Office.

The Repon of the Inde­pendent Review of Asbes­tos in Defence. prepared by the forme r Public Service Commissioner. Mr lohn Enfield. was tabled in Fed­eral parliament by the Minister for Defence Sci­ence and Personnel . Mr Gordon Bilney.

FINDINGS Mr Enfield's

fi ndings included: general

- asbestos is ubiquitious in the environment and most people carry asbestos fibres in their lungs;

- asbestos- related ill­ness have affect ed a rela­tively small number of people in Defence;

- the mere presence of asbestos is not a threat to health and any such risk arises only when asbestos fib res become airborne and are inhaled; and

a clearly articulated policy on the control of the hazards of asbeStos:

Defence personnel who are required to work wi th asbestos must be prop­erly trained, proteeted, equipped and supervised;

Defence personnel should not be involved in the removal of asbestos except in exceptional cir­cumstances;

APPROACH - a new approach to

coordinating Defence Instructions relating to asbestos is needed. The SGADF already has in hand the preparation of a DI(G) and a Technical Pol­icy Directive 011 Asbestos and Asbestos- Related Dis­eases;

- Defence has a respon­sibility 10 train and instruct its personnel in dealing with the hazards of asbes­tos . Specific trammg is needed for commanders and managers in dealing wi th the hazards of asbestos and with the management of occupational health and safety generally;

- there is a need to iden­tify the presence of asbes­tos to enable control of hazards;

FUTURE - there should be a few.

if any. cases of asbeStOS in the future. and they should be dealt with by Comeare on their meri ts;

- Comcare should con­sider claims for asbestos­induced lung cancer only where there is JXlthological or radiological evidence of high levels of exposure to airborne asbestos fibres;

- continuation of the e)(lStmg specification of mesothelioma as a disease related to employment involving "exposure to asbestos" could lead to acceptance of all claims by sufferers from meso othelioma if the sufferer had been in employment with the Commonwealth at a time of to years or more ago. and this is a humane and economic course to fol­low;

rehabilitation irrelevant to claimants fac­ing imminent death and the Commonwelath should allocate the resources that would have gone 10

rehabilitation to counsel­ling and support for the claimant and thei r family;

Na\'y personnel ha"c been honoured in the 1991 Queen's birth­day list.

- the ambient levels of ai rborne asbestos fibres in Defence ships and build­ings are many times less than Worksafe Australia's Occupational Exposure Standards. and the risk to health of those who live and work in those ships and buildings is corrcspond­ingly low.

- mcdical examinations cannot delect asbes tos­relaled disease at a stage where intervention could lead to recovery. Medical counselling should be made available to those serving and past members and employees who have been. or Ihmk Ihey may have been exposed to airborne asbestos fibres ;

- claimants contemlat· ing taking Common Law action against the Com­monwealth for non­economic losses should carefully consider the costs and benefits of that action. rather than seeking to obtain compensation under the CE Re Act 1988.

.Mr Enfield's specific findings and recommenda· tions included:

- Worksafe Australia 's National Standards and Codes of Practice relating to health and safety should be the minimum require­ment in Defence for deal­ing with asbestos;

- removal is nOI the first or only option for dealing with asbestos. Management of the hazard is the first option:

Commanders "d managers need to be given

- Occupational Health and Safety is a responsibil­ity of commanders and line managers. Assessment of their performance should have regard of that;

- the establishment of a coordinated Occupational Safety in required;

Between 1 March and 31 August 1991 you have to decide if you want to retain your entitlement to the DSHlWestpac scheme or want to go inw the new ADFHLASlNational Australia Bank scheme.

If you have dual eligibili ty you may have already received a revocation kit from your commanding officer. Although the kit gives you the information you need, we wish to highlight the five main benefits you gain from the DSH/Wesrpac scheme.

Protection of your fixed interest rate Your subsidised Westpac housing loan is protected at a low interest rate o f only 6.85% p.a. over a 25 year term. This is fixed at that rate unlike the ADFHLAS/National Australia Bank scheme which is a variable fate based on 60% of the market interest rate for housing loans. The ADFHLAS/National Australia Bank rate can go up. Ours can't.

25 year subsidised loan T he Westpac loan is subsidised at a the low fixed rate for 25 years unlike the National Australia Bank loan which is subsidised for a maximum of 20 years and which could be further reduced if you leave the service at any time during that period .

Protection of your subsidised loan

* -

reasons

of subsidy is equal to the number of completed years of service beyond the initial six years to qualify. After the period of subSidy ends you will have to pay the no rmal market rates.

Only one Westpac fee Westpac will charge you only one establishment fee that covers all bank costs. There are no extras and no annual se rvice fee. Currently, the National Australia Bank charges both an application fee and an ongoing annual service fee.

Discounted fee If you decide on the D SHIWestpac scheme, we will di scount the Westpac establishment fee by SO per cen t - a saving that could amounr to hundreds of dollars. The DSH/Westpac scheme gives you the protection and security you want - even if you decide (Q

leave the service. The offer is valid from 1 April 1991 to 31 March 1993.
