Mold Awareness

Description

Molds can be found almost anywhere, they can grow on virtually any organic substance, as long as moisture and oxygen are present.  There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, foods, and insulation.  When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or unaddressed.  It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment. However, mold growth can be controlled indoors by controlling moisture indoors. While completing this online course, you will be given terms and definitions of mold and its characteristics. You will become familiar with preventive measures and actions you should take when mold becomes an issue. You will be instructed on remediation and how to deal with tenants and building occupants. You will learn to handle documentation and awareness, as well as resources for additional information.
