Meet Kate 👋

Kate has joined us as our new Accounts and Marketing Assistant, while our lovely Accounts Manager, Becky, is away on maternity leave.

She brings a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Marketing and a background in customer service. She’ll be looking after our day-to-day accounts and helping with social media, newsletters and marketing - so you'll be hearing more from her!

Outside of work, Kate enjoys getting out for a walk, reading a good book and attempting to keep up with the million different TV shows she seems to be watching at once.

We’re very happy to have Kate on board and look forward to having her as part of the team!

🔍 WHAT’S HIDING UNDER YOUR PAINT?

Lead-based paint can still be found in many older New Zealand buildings, sometimes hidden beneath newer layers of paint.

😷 Planning to sand, scrape or strip it? Disturbing lead-based paint can create contaminated dust and debris, potentially exposing workers and building occupants and contaminating surrounding areas.

If you’re planning maintenance or renovation work on an older building, it’s important to know what you’re working with before you start. Know before you disturb.

Direct Hazmat can assist with lead paint testing and advice on managing the risk.

🏠 SPOTTED ANY MOULD?

Over the last few months, we’ve seen an increase in mould jobs.
During a recent inspection, we found the mould pictured, hiding behind a hot water cylinder. Further investigation identified the source of the moisture and helped determine what needed to be addressed.

Mould issues can be caused by a range of factors, including building design, occupant activities, lack of maintenance, leaks, condensation and inadequate ventilation.

Keep an eye out for:
➡️ Persistent condensation or damp areas
➡️ Water staining or signs of leaks
➡️ Musty odours
➡️ Mould that keeps returning

Our team carries out mould and moisture assessments using thermal imaging, moisture meters and sampling where required to help identify the potential cause and provide clear recommendations.

Concerned about mould or moisture? Talk to our team.

26 September marks Mesothelioma Awareness Day, an important reminder of why preventing asbestos exposure still matters today.

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer most commonly caused by asbestos exposure and can take decades to develop.

While asbestos is now banned in New Zealand, many buildings still contain asbestos-containing materials as a result of its widespread historical use.

Knowing where asbestos may be present and managing it safely helps protect the people working in and around these buildings, now and into the future.

This December, we’re proud to once again sponsor the Special Children’s Christmas Party in Wellington 🎄

These incredible events give Kiwi children living with special needs, challenging life or health circumstances the chance to enjoy a day that’s all about being a kid – having fun, feeling included and creating some pretty special memories along the way.

Nearly 10,000 children are invited to Special Children’s Christmas Parties across New Zealand each year, made possible with the support of Kiwi businesses.

The Wellington party takes place on 19 December, and there’s still an opportunity for other businesses to get behind this fantastic cause.

If you’d like to join us in supporting the Special Children’s Christmas Parties, head to their websi

🏫 Asbestos in schools: preparation matters

The latest issue of Principals Today takes a closer look at asbestos in New Zealand schools, following a year that brought the issue firmly back into focus.

With around a third of the Ministry of Education’s property portfolio more than 50 years old, asbestos-containing materials remain a reality for many schools.

As Principals Today highlights, the key is preparation:

- Keep your asbestos management plan current, accurate and accessible to the people who need it.
- Use Ministry of Education accredited suppliers for asbestos work.
- Consider asbestos as a budget and insurance issue, as well as a health and safety risk.

Since April, schools have been required to use suppliers from the Ministry’s accredited list for asbestos-related work. Direct Hazmat Consultants is an approved supplier, providing asbestos surveying, assessment and testing services to schools.

Thanks to Principals Today for highlighting this important topic in its Term 3 issue.

Changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act are coming, with a stronger focus on the risks that have the potential to cause the most serious harm.

From 1 April 2027, businesses with fewer than 20 workers will shift from being required to manage all workplace risks to focusing on critical risks – those that could result in death, serious injury or illness, or long-term harm. For larger businesses, the requirements remain largely unchanged.

For many workplace health risks, this focus will be familiar. Exposure to carcinogens, hazardous dusts, fumes and excessive noise can all have serious or long-term health impacts, making it important to understand the risks and have the right controls in place.

If you need help assessing workplace exposure risks, talk to our occupational hygiene team.
