Resource Environmental Associates - Training - Mould: Identification and Control in Facilities

The presence of mould in buildings and facilities is becoming more and more common. Not only is mould unsightly in homes and workplaces, but also it can effect the indoor air quality and has been found to create or exacerbate health symptoms. Many claims for damages, replacement of building materials and health effects as a result of exposure to mould have also been filed successfully across the country.

This course has been designed to aid those who would like to learn more about identification and remediation techniques for mould contamination. Participants will gain an understanding of where and what types of moulds are typically found in the natural environment, what factors influence the proliferation of moulds in indoor environments, tools and techniques to identify moulds, common health effects, classification of work for remediation techiniques, methods of the New York Protocol and other methods, and prevention of mould problems.

This course has been awarded:
1 MP by the Canadian Registration Board of Occupational Hygienists (CRBOH)
0.5 CMPs by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP)
1 IH CMP by the American Board of Industrial Hygienists (ABIH)
