Mold Prevention and Remediation Awareness Training Course Syllabus
This Mold Prevention Awareness Training course consists of 5 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
Introduction
Lesson 1: What is Mold?
- Understand what mold is and where it is found.
- Explain how mold grows and the conditions that support its development.
- Recognize why building occupants should be concerned about mold contamination in indoor environments.
- Describe the health effects associated with mold exposure.
- Define the terms Building-Related Illnesses (BRIs) and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).
Lesson 2: Moisture Problems and Preventive Maintenance
- Identify possible locations of hidden moisture in homes and other buildings.
- Explain the various causes of moisture problems in indoor environments.
- Discuss preventive actions to limit mold growth on water-damaged items.
- Understand specific practices for preventive maintenance of buildings, crawl spaces, HVAC systems, furnace humidifiers, and toilet and bathroom areas.
Lesson 3: Building Investigation and Remediation Plan
- Identify areas of potential mold contamination in indoor environments, including buildings, homes, schools, and community centers.
- List the types of equipment used for mold assessment and remediation.
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mold sampling techniques.
- Explain the key steps of a mold remediation plan.
Lesson 4: Mold Cleanup and Containment
- Describe the three methods commonly used for mold cleanup.
- Define biocides and explain why they are not recommended for routine use in mold remediation.
- Explain the concept of containment during mold remediation and the two types of containment methods.
- Describe the different types of personal protective equipment (PPE) required to minimize exposure to mold, mold spores, and dust.
Lesson 5: Mold Remediation Guidelines
- Understand area-specific remediation guidelines for building materials with or likely to have mold growth.
- Explain the cleanup and remediation procedures for small, medium, and large areas of mold contamination.
- Be able to define a confined space, permit-required confined space, and non-permit confined space to recognize hazards and precautions.
- Describe the special considerations for mold remediation in HVAC systems and confined spaces.
- Support understanding of how the evaluation of mold remediation procedures requires professional judgment with no easy answers.
Final Examination
Frequently Asked Questions
At present, there are no federal standards or recommendations from regulatory or health agencies (including OSHA, EPA, and CDC) for acceptable airborne concentrations of mold or mold spores.
However, there are several OSHA standards that may be applicable in specific situations, including standards for general industry (29 CFR 1910), shipyard employment (29 CFR 1915), and construction (29 CFR 1926).
Mold growth is common in both indoor and outdoor environments. Mold is a substantial problem in the indoor environment because when mold spores land on a moist surface and start to grow, they gradually destroy or digest the things they grow on and compromise the structural integrity of buildings and appearance of furnishings.
Additionally, mold growth in buildings can lead to unpleasant odors and can trigger health effects and allergic reactions in some individuals. Therefore, people who work in potentially mold-contaminated areas must understand the best practices for preventing exposure and structural damage to buildings and other fixtures.
