Australia: Concerns raised about potential health hazards of mould outbreak at offshore immigration detention centre operated by Broadspectrum on Nauru

Media reports (see below) cite the occurrence of potential health risks to refugees, asylum seekers and staff caused by a mould problem at the offshore immigration detention centre operated by Broadspectrum (formerly Transfield Services) on Nauru.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Broadspectrum to respond to concerns about health risks to occupants and staff at the centre. A company spokesperson for Broadspectrum responded that it "maintained a safe and healthy workplace for its employees while working at the Regional Processing Centres until 31 October 2017."
