What’s covered?
Water damage and subsequent mould growth can have lasting impacts to not only the health of occupants but also on the building structure itself, and these risks are amplified when corrective actions are delayed or if the source of the problem remains undiscovered for months or longer.
It is unfortunately too common for mould remediation projects to run over time or expand to include costly additional site attendances and further works. Our panel of Indoor Environmental Professionals (IEP) draws from decades of industry experience to identify the key factors common to successful remediation projects, and outline how an IEP can assist in ensuring remediation is successful.
This discussion covers the entire project lifecycle, including:
- Initial investigations and scoping
- Industry best practice remediation processes – what works and what doesn’t
- How containment saves money and reduces health impacts
- The health and legal ramifications of mould remediation – making sure projects don’t come back to haunt you

Mitchell Services Case Study
The following video demonstrates how myosh worked closely with the team at Mitchell to improve safety in their organisation by simplifying key processes and workflows, and providing a system that can be used in a variety of working environments both remote and offline. As a result, myosh is used at all levels in the organisation – from the Drill crews in the field all the way up to the CEO.
