Questions That May Assist in Determining Whether a Mold Problem Currently Exists
Do you think you have mold, mildew or a moisture issue? As per OSHA, some Questions That May Assist in Determining Whether a Mold Problem Currently Exists are:
- Are building materials or furnishings visibly moisture damaged?
- Have building materials been wet more than 48 hours?
- Are there existing moisture problems in the building?
- Are building occupants reporting musty or moldy odors?
- Are building occupants reporting health problems that they think are related to mold in the indoor environment?
- Has the building been recently remodeled or has the building use changed?
- Has routine maintenance been delayed or the maintenance plan been altered?
Always consider consulting a health professional to address any employee health concerns.
