Awaab’s Law was introduced following the tragic death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who died after prolonged exposure to mould in his home.
Its purpose is clear: to make sure damp, mould and housing hazards are investigated quickly, acted on properly, and not allowed to continue where they put tenants at risk.
For housing providers, the challenge is knowing what action to take - and being able to evidence why.
TrakAer provides real-time indoor air quality data and expert analysis to help identify what is happening in the home, support the right intervention and evidence whether conditions have improved.
“Awaab’s Law is not just about acting quickly. It is about acting quickly, choosing the right fix, and being able to evidence why that action was taken.”
