Conservation-led mould managementFor professional and organisational useDiscover the approach

A considered response. A complete system.

Mould is a material problem, an environmental problem and a professional responsibility. Our approach brings all three together.

Endangered Heritage combines mould assessment, UVC treatment equipment, professional training and prevention planning. Developed from conservation practice, the program supports professionals responsible for collections, sensitive materials and challenging environments.

Purpose-built treatment

A UVC device developed for professional mould remediation, used within a considered treatment plan and material-specific protocols.

Knowledge before equipment

Online training connects mould prevention, treatment options and workplace safety with induction for the UVC device.

Prevention beyond treatment

Understanding the conditions that encourage mould is part of managing recurrence and caring for a space or collection over time.

UVC treatment requires trained operators, controlled conditions and appropriate safety procedures. Suitability depends on the material and the treatment environment.

Read the environment

Mould is never only a surface problem.

Moisture, airflow, temperature and material all tell part of the story. Good remediation begins by reading the conditions around the affected place or collection.

Two professional pathways. One commitment to informed, responsible mould management.

Pathway A

Movable heritage

For the people who care for collections that cannot be replaced.

  • Museums, libraries and archives
  • Galleries and cultural collections
  • Archaeological finds and sensitive materials
Enquire about heritage training
Pathway B

Disaster response

For professionals working where mould follows disruption, damage and changing conditions.

  • Restoration, remediation and insurance
  • Disaster response and emergency services
  • Built heritage and construction

The expertise behind the system

Preservation is where we began.

Endangered Heritage brings conservation science and strategic thinking together to protect cultural collections, places and technologies.

That background shapes our approach to mould: understand what is at risk, respect the material and equip people to make informed decisions.

A few practical questions.

Who is the program for?

The system and training are intended for professional commercial businesses and organisations. Relevant sectors include conservation, collections management, restoration, construction and disaster response.

What does the training cover?

The program covers conditions that encourage mould, prevention, treatment options, occupational health and safety, and induction for the UVC remediation device. Two pathways address movable heritage and disaster response.

Can I purchase the device without training?

The supplied program requires completion of Endangered Heritage training and assessment before an accredited practitioner can purchase the device for business use. Contact the team for current enrolment, assessment and purchasing details.

How do I find out whether it suits our work?

Tell us about your organisation, the materials or environments you work with, and the support you need. The team can discuss the relevant training pathway and the next steps for your situation.

Safety notice

Can UVC increase cancer risk?

UVC is optical radiation. At the intensity required for sterilisation work, the wavelengths that affect microorganisms can injure exposed skin and eyes, even after only a short exposure. In Australia, ARPANSA, the federal regulator, recognises unprotected UVC radiation sources as having carcinogenic consequences. Additionally, some lamps also produce ozone gas, which has health implications. Many materials are themselves light-sensitive, especially at short wavelengths and high intensities, and inappropriate use of UVC can severely damage materials.

Do not buy bare UVC bulbs or handheld lamps, or operate them without suitable training and all appropriate safety protocols. Safe work depends on the wavelength, irradiance, exposure time, shielding, interlocks, controlled access, reflection control, ventilation, PPE, equipment condition and a documented risk assessment. A device being sold online does not make it safe for your room, your staff or the materials you intend to treat.

Our equipment is supplied only after users have received thorough professional training and induction, and understand all safety-related control procedures. It is not intended for untrained domestic use. Like firearms or motor vehicles, UVC equipment can be used safely, but appropriate training is essential before any use.
