Is One's Quality of Life Compromised with Lesser Information on Building Material Contents?

This paper analyses the types of information from literature and internet sources for hazardous building materials. There is limited study on evaluating the required information that may increase risk to the affected stakeholders. A framework was used to evaluate and compare the contents of information. Findings revealed various labelling formats, data sheets, hazard classifications, languages and text forms that may not be clear and accessible for stakeholders to understand the potential risks and hazards. More efforts and scientific revelations are required to provide accessible and easier to understand information to minimise the adverse effects to human quality of life.
