Upholding High Mold Remediation Standards
4/10/2019 (Permalink)
Mold can attack your company any time water is present, even a tiny bit of water from a pipe that collects condensation for a few hours a day. When mold does appear in your Billings, MT, facility, you’ll want to deal with the issue as quickly as possible, but you also want the problem dealt with using EPA and OSHA standards for commercial buildings. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification has established mold standards for all types of remediation, including government required cleaning criteria.
Certification
The IICRC is a third-party organization that sets the standards of cleaning, remediation, and restoration after disasters. The institute’s instructors and class materials are all kept up-to-date using government criteria to teach students the skills required to hold to the highest standards of disaster scene cleanup. Classes often include:
• Water restoration
• Carpet cleaning
• Structural drying
• Fire scene rebuilding
• Document restoration
Upon completion of the required classes, the student receives a mitigation certificate acknowledging he or she has acquired the government-mandated skills and knowledge essential for completing the job. He or she not only knows how to mold clean an area, but he or she can also prevent future mold growth by finding the source of the water and repairing it to the highest of mold standards.
Accreditation
Qualified individuals not only become certified mitigation specialists by attending classes in a specialized school, but they also learn how to maintain the highest industry standards by attending continuing education classes on topics such as black mold, flooding, and scene safety. There are also classes in ethics, working with insurance companies, and advanced mitigation processes.
If you ever find yourself fighting a fungus problem, choose an IICRC-certified team to clean the area. The specially trained individuals can help remove the problem, prevent future growth, and bring your building back to the highest government-mandated and preventative mold standards. You can trust the IICRC-trained technicians to use the newest technology to help you keep your property fungus free.
