Asbestos has been found in the soil of two south-east Queensland children's sporting fields, with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland conducting further tests and keeping both fields cordoned off in the meantime.

Warwick Council notified WHSQ on Thursday afternoon that asbestos had been found in the soil of the two sporting fields in Warwick, about 160 kilometres south-west of Brisbane.

The initial discovery was made at a Collegians Junior Rugby League Club field and the field at Warwick Central State School was also checked after WHSQ inspectors discovered the same supplier had delivered soil to both locations.

"Very minor amounts of suspected asbestos containing material were found on the playing surface at both fields – only six very small pieces on the football field and seven at the school," a WHSQ spokesman said.
