Mold 101

식별 및 수정시 금형 위험을 제어하는​​ 방법을 이해합니다.

Mold is one of the most widespread hazards that hurricane, flood, and disaster clean-up workers may encounter. This mobile application was developed by the IUOE National Training Fund to serve as a health and safety resource for workers, volunteers, and homeowners who will participate in clean-up activities to help them understand how to identify and control hazards from mold. Although mold is the focus here, there are many other common hazards encountered in clean-up efforts.

The guidance in this mobile application is primarily intended for workers, volunteers, and homeowners who engage in small-scale mold clean-up and treatment of flooded or water-damaged homes. A small-scale project is considered to be 10 square feet or less. For projects larger than 10 square feet, the U.S. CDC, U.S. EPA, and U.S. HUD all recommend using a qualified mold assessment and remediation specialist.

Topics include:

-What is mold and how to identify it

-Mold remediation health and safety precautions

-Pre-remediation considerations

-Mold remediation work practices, procedures, and methods

-Clean-up procedures
