Mould Assessment

A person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a duty to eliminate or minimise health and safety risks to their employees. It is also important to identify conducive environment for mould growth in the residential premises.

In situations where mould growth is readily identifiable (e.g. condensation in a bathroom from a shower), a mould treatment by a mould remediation company would be sufficient to address the issue.

Following situations may require mould inspection:

• Mould growth and underlying causes are not readily identifiable and occupants are experienced health effects
• Scientific knowledge is required to investigate specific mould growth patterns including using specialised testing methods
• Detailed mould inspection for insurance claim
• Post remediation verification or mould clearance
