Got Mold? Get training!
Mold in buildings is a major problem here in the southeast. Mold damages buildings and can sicken occupants. To answer questions about what can be done about mold in buildings, the University of Alabama is offering two new mold programs.
Managing Mold in Buildings – One Day Seminar
This six-hour mold awareness seminar provides basic information about mold in buildings. It will help building and facility managers respond to occupant and resident complaints about mold in buildings. It will help school personnel respond to complaints from teachers, students, and parents. It will help insurance and real estate professionals understand the dynamics of mold in buildings. The seminar will answer questions such as:
· Am I legally liable for mold and mold complaints?
· Does mold really make occupants sick?
· How do I know if I have a mold problem in my buildings?
· How quickly do I need to act if I find mold in my buildings?
· What can I do about mold in my buildings?
· Who can I get to identify and correct mold problems in my buildings?
During the seminar you will be able to ask questions about specific mold problems. Upon completion of the seminar, you will be able to answer mold-related questions. You will be able to decide if and when contractors or consultants are needed, or if in-house staff can handle the problem, and what training your in-house staff needs to correct mold problems.
