Author: Katie Lio. It’s hard to believe that the MOG music streaming service has been in Australia for a year.

As soon as we received the information we sent our team out to the pit to inspect the site and as a result immediately suspended the contractor from further work and safely secured the area. We also re-visited all sites remediated by this contractor to make sure the removal of asbestos was conducted in the appropriate way.
