Australian Tasmania Goldwind Technology's Muniushan Wind Power Project Explores Hidden Danger: Brake pads of elevators inside wind turbine towers detected to contain asbestos, which is strictly prohibited by the Australian government!

 

Core Facts:

-Date: November 2025

-Location: Cattle Hill Wind Power Project, Tasmania, Australia

-Problem: The brake pads of the elevator in the fan tower contain asbestos (completely banned in Australia)

-Impact: Triggering concerns from various sectors in Australia about other Goldwind projects, Australian safety regulatory authorities take emergency safety measures

-Supplier: The elevator is provided by a subsidiary of China International United (605305)

 

 

You should know that Australia is one of the countries with the strictest control over asbestos - it completely banned the sale and use of asbestos in 2003, and even lowered the detection limit to 0.1% in 2016, which means even trace amounts are illegal!

 

Why do countries hate asbestos to the bone?

 

It is a Class I carcinogen recognized by the World Health Organization!

The nanofibers are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye. Once they float into the air and are inhaled, they will be firmly embedded in the lung tissue and cannot be expelled for decades.

Long term exposure can directly induce lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, which have extremely high mortality rates and incubation periods of up to 10-40 years.

Not only does it harm on-site workers, but after the dust spreads, surrounding residents will also be affected, making it a "hidden health killer".

What's even more frightening is that asbestos was widely used in products such as brake pads and building materials due to its fire-resistant and heat-insulating properties, and many people were not even aware of its threat.

This incident is not a small matter: the Australian safety supervision department has taken emergency measures, and the relevant equipment is facing shutdown and investigation; The companies involved not only have to bear huge losses, but also strike a heavy blow to the compliance defense line of Chinese wind power companies going global!

 

The alarm bell rings long:

Every link in the supply chain cannot tolerate any negligence. Zero tolerance for harmful substances is the greatest reverence for life!
