Overview of the Recall
The 2025 coloured sand recall has affected many Australian educational organisations, with low-level asbestos detected in sensory play products sold between 2020 and 2025. Regulators, including the ACCC, WorkSafe Queensland, Queensland Health, and ASEA, have assessed the risk as low when the material is undisturbed. This 2025 coloured sand recall guidance provides practical options for response, focusing on proportionate risk management.
What was Nambour Christian College’s Experience with MiSAFE’s Services?
We engaged MiSAFE to assist us with two sensitive and complex health and safety issues on campus: an asbestos-related concern in a batch of Kinetic sand, and recurring mould found in several classrooms following a period of heavy rain. The guidance around this matter was influenced by the 2025 coloured sand recall guidance. Micah approached both matters with a high level of professionalism, technical expertise, and consideration for our staff and students. He took the time to understand the on-ground situation, listened to the concerns of teachers and parents, and carried out a structured risk assessment that clearly laid out our options.
What impressed us was MiSAFE’s ability to simplify complex regulatory and health information into practical, evidence-based scenarios. Instead of pushing for a specific outcome, Micah provided us with clear data, risk profiles, and cost–benefit considerations, enabling us to make confident, well-informed decisions and show that we were fulfilling our duty of care.
The 2025 coloured sand recall guidance was instrumental in shaping our response strategy. MiSAFE has become a trusted partner for our school. Their guidance has significantly improved our capacity to proactively manage health and safety risks, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and base our decisions on solid analysis. I highly recommend MiSafe to any organisation seeking clarity and confidence in managing risks.
