An overseas company is considering legal action to protect its reputation following allegations its products used on a central Queensland construction site contained asbestos.
Tests last week revealed pre-fabricated switch rooms built in Indonesia by Metito contained white asbestos, which is banned in Australia.
The switch rooms were installed by the United States company Bechtel at a gas hub on Curtis Island, near Gladstone.
In a statement, Metito said its products meet strict safety standards.
The company says it fully supports an investigation into the incident, and that the matter is being taken seriously.
