BUNNINGS STORE CLOSURE DUE TO MOULD INFESTATION

A Bunnings temporarily ceased operations due to mould infestation in store.

The Union was first advised of this widespread mould infestation when staff were reporting that they were feeling ill, taking time off and using puffers to manage asthma or difficult breathing conditions.

With little to no urgency in taking appropriate steps to resolve the matter, the SDA attended the site and took further steps to have this site properly assessed.

The store was eventually closed for more than a month while the appropriate measures were taken to clean the site and ensure it was safe for workers to return.
