Key Factors for Successful Mould Remediation

Presented by Presented by Michael Taylor, Ian Crew and Cedric Cheong (Greencap)

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) will draw 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.

The discussion will cover 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.

Beyond TRIFR: Creating Meaningful and Measurable Lead Indicators for Safety

Presented by Anthony Gibbs (CEO, Sentis)

What’s covered?

Businesses invest big in safety improvement initiatives, yet relatively few can pinpoint the positive effects of these on their safety culture. The natural tendency is to turn to lag indicators. And while not inherently bad, these measures only provide part of the picture.

Businesses who excel at safety are looking to lead metrics to not only demonstrate a clear return on safety investment, but to also better predict and prevent incidents in the workplace. Knowing where to start is often the first hurdle. The second is convincing senior stakeholders to buy into a new way of measuring safety.

Join Sentis CEO, Anthony Gibbs to explore how the best in the business track safety performance with their executive’s full support.
