There is a significant increase in mould related litigation. As both the public and the workforce are becoming more knowledgeable on this subject, the provision of appropriate training is an integral part of all health and safety programs and is an essential component of due diligence in the workplace.

This is a four-hour workshop which provides practical, general-use knowledge on:

• Microbiology of moulds, where they come from, the various species of moulds, causes and rates of growth and toxicology concerns;
• Why is mould a problem?
• Mould recognition;
• Mould litigation and due diligence responsibilities;
• Health and safety issues for occupants of mould infested areas;
• Effects of mould on property; and
• Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Legislation.
