All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread of mould.
Their specialized filtration equipment allows their Professionals to capture microscopic mould spores out of the air. They utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mould spores while the mould remediation is in process.

This practice note provides guidance to help manage health risks associated with the remediation of clandestine drug laboratories (clan labs). The national Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines (Newell et al. 2011) (National Guidelines) should be referred to for more detailed information.
other parties involved in the investigation and/or remediation of a clan lab site.
Clandestine drug laboratories (clan labs) are used to illegally manufacture drugs such as methamphetamines and have been found in rural, regional and metropolitan locations.
These conditions can result in chemical residues being deposited on surfaces during the drug manufacturing (cooking) process. Contamination must be professionally assessed and remediated to ensure that a site does not remain a public health and safety risk.
Property owners are responsible for the remediation of a clan lab site and any associated costs including recovery of those costs from a tenant where applicable.
Authorised Officers under the Public Health & Wellbeing Act 2008 (PHWA), are neither expected nor recommended to personally assess, test or remediate a clan lab site. These tasks should be carried out by professionals experienced in this field.
In many cases, materials used during the manufacture of illicit drugs may cause residual contamination of the soil, water and air close to a clan lab site, due to improper storage, use and disposal of chemicals and wastes. Residual contamination may be present even if there is no evidence of odour or visible staining.
A range of chemicals can be found in clan lab operations, depending on the type of drug(s) produced. These include reagents, precursors to final products used in synthesis and/or by-product(s) of reactions. Chemical hazards should therefore be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
or development of an appropriate remediation plan. ILs have been developed for indoor air and surfaces and outdoor soil. The National Guidelines provide the ILs for a number of key chemicals.
For example, the common clan lab drug, methamphetamine is odourless, but can be an aerosol hazard until residues are cleaned from surfaces. The IL for methamphetamine on an indoor surface is 0.5 g/100 cm2 (Environmental Risk Sciences 2009).
Note: solvents are potentially explosive; some clan labs are discovered after an explosion.
hazardous metals such as mercury and lead.
EHO Safety: EHOs responding to a nuisance complaint about a clan lab should not enter the premises if there is a health and safety risk. Victoria Police, Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), Country Fire Authority (CFA), and/or the Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) should be contacted for assistance.
Victoria Police is not responsible for the assessment and remediation of a site following the completion of an investigation.
When the police are close to finishing an investigation, they will contact the EHO at the responsible council to notify them of the discovery of a clan lab site and its potential hazards and risks. They will then send a confirmation letter to the EHO and include contact details of the police investigator. The EHO may wish to discuss details of potential contamination with the investigator to help facilitate safe access to the site and an appropriate remediation strategy.
Responsibility for managing the site, including remediation, returns to the property owner once the police have completed their investigation and removed material of evidentiary value from the property. Council can utilise their relevant powers under the PHWA to ensure that a clan lab site is remediated and can also prohibit unauthorized access.
the health status of person exposed.
Manufacturing residues, by-products and finished products may remain on the premises after the police have completed their investigation. These substances may have also been discharged into the environment (for example, into the air, septic tanks and soil) during the manufacturing process. They pose a potential risk to human health, with children the most vulnerable. Some residues can remain on surfaces for long periods of time (Environmental Risk Sciences 2009).
There is no accepted science/health-based safe level of exposure to residual contamination due to the manufacture of illicit drugs.
Contaminated material should be removed and affected surfaces properly cleaned to prevent ongoing exposure to residents.
Acute exposure to the typical clan lab drug methamphetamine can cause irritation to eyes, breathing difficulties, dizziness and headache (Environmental Risk Sciences 2009).
Part 6, Division 1 of the PHWA applies to nuisances which are, or liable to be, “dangerous to health” or “offensive”. Section 58(4) of the PHWA defines offensive to mean “noxious” or “injurious to personal comfort”.
As residual contamination arising out of clan labs is acknowledged to be a serious health risk, this contamination is a nuisance for the purposes of the PHWA.
It is an offence under the PHWA to cause a nuisance or to knowingly allow a nuisance to exist on, or emanate from, land. Land owners must abate this nuisance, or they will be liable to face criminal prosecution.
Under the PHWA, Councils must investigate any notification of nuisance [Section 62(2)] and have a duty to remedy, as far as reasonably possible, all nuisances in their municipal district (Section 60).
Upon notification of a clan lab, councils should advise the owner to have the land assessed and remediated if necessary.
In a situation where the land owner does not take steps to remediate the nuisance, council may issue the landowner with an improvement notice to abate the nuisance.
In cases where the land owner is unknown or cannot be located, the PHWA provides that councils may take action to abate the nuisance [Section 66].
Part 9 of the PHWA sets out the powers of Authorised Officers to enter premises to investigate nuisances and eliminate or reduce risks to public health. These powers include a power to “seal” premises in Section 175(1)(e). The property should be sealed until it is assessed as safe for its intended use.
Further information on the legal powers of councils and their officers to deal with Nuisance can be found in the MAV manual including an Improvement Notice template.
notify neighbours if adjacent properties are affected or are at risk.
The premises should be ventilated for at least 48 hours prior to beginning the remediation. This will allow volatile solvents and gases that have been absorbed into porous surfaces to evaporate. The premises should also be closed off from public access until remediation is complete and the site is safe to re-enter.
The property should be investigated by an assessor1 to determine what remediation is necessary. The assessor should confirm their findings in writing.

evidence of confined ‘cooking’ activities, (e.g. only in the shed or laundry but not the rest of the site). In such cases, the shed may need to be demolished and removed. Assessment may still be required post-demolition to determine soil and/or off-site contamination. Other areas of the site may also have been used and therefore should also be assessed.
Where an assessor reports that ILs have not been exceeded and therefore remediation is not required, it is recommended that properties are generally cleaned.
Items suspected to have been used in the manufacturing process and/or show evidence of acid etching, chemical staining or other visible contamination including sinks, bathtubs and toilets should be either cleaned according to the assessor’s advice or discarded. Items should also be discarded if they emit a chemical odour.
Professional cleaning contractors familiar with remediation requirements of clan labs should be used.
A class ‘A’ removalist is required if a premise is to be demolished (e.g. as per asbestos removalists) with any contaminated materials appropriately disposed of.
Respirators, especially where strong odours are present.
Local councils can assist site owners with contact details of suitably qualified assessors and cleaning contractors.
The Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA Victoria) can advise on transport and disposal of contaminated items and locations of landfills that accept contaminated waste and/or soil.
Following remediation, the assessor should provide written verification that residual contamination is below the relevant Investigation Levels and that the site is fit for its intended purpose. If the remediation is deemed inadequate, further remediation activities will be required before the assessor can deem the site fit.
A copy of the assessor’s report should be provided to Council. This report can be used as evidence of compliance with a Council improvement notice that may have been served on the owner.
