Mold in the Workplace
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Mold is a hot
topic, THE hot topic of concern in the building industry today. This is because
it is generally one of those unquantifiable variables for most people and even
most “experts”. This is because each human being that inhabits a building is a
unique person with unique physical and mental attributes that may or may not
make many molds problematic for them.
In this course the
student will learn about mold basics, health effects, prevention, remediation,
personal protective equipment and sampling methods.

In The Workplace" published by the U.S. Department of Labor – Occupational Safety

03-10-10). Note that according to OSHA, this Bulletin is not a standard or
regulation and it creates no new legal obligations. The Bulletin is advisory in
