The International Ban Asbestos Secretariat (IBAS) is a newly formed, independent body which is dedicated to the eradication world-wide of the continuing use of asbestos and the minimisation of dangers from asbestos products already within society.
Although IBAS works closely with the Ban Asbestos Network and national groups such as ANDEVA which have been campaigning on asbestos issues for years, there are no organisational or financial links to these groups.
