This course is designed to assist employers and employees in understanding the steps to working safely where exposure to mold is likely, in both the construction and general industry.
What are the governing regulations?
According to OSHA:
Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, often referred to as the General Duty Clause, requires employers to "furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees". Section 5(a)(2) requires employers to "comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act".
This course will help you comply with the OSHA standard on mold, mold prevention, and mold remediation in both the construction and general industries.
Who must take this training?
Construction Industry:
According to OSHA 29 CFR § 1926.21(b)(2): The employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.
General Industry:
According to OSHA 29 CFR § 1910.9(b): ...The employer must train each affected employee in the manner required by the standard, and each failure to train an employee may be considered a separate violation.
Specific topics covered in this course include:

OSHA has not specified any time frame for required retraining or recertification for Mold, Mold Prevention, and Mold Remediation. Since there is no OSHA standard dealing with this specific hazard the OSH Act general duty clause, section 5(a)(1), 29 U.S.C. 654(b)(1) defines the standard which provides that:
(a) Each employer -
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.
A recognized hazard is a danger recognized by the employer's industry or industry in general, by the employer, or by common sense. The general duty clause does not apply if there is an OSHA standard dealing with the hazard, unless the employer knows that the standard does not adequately address the hazard.
Upon successful completion each student will have immediate access to a OSHA Mold, Mold Prevention, and Mold Remediation Safety Training printable certificate and wallet card.
Each student will receive 0.2 CEUs (or 2 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.

This was a well appreciated course for the simple fact that we are undergoing the pandemic of the COVID-19 and its difficult to attend a course in person to get this certification, and also, it is very educational at the same time on information you and your workers need to be updated on and should know in the company.

I really liked this course. My colleague and I are taking the course to support a sort of 'first responder' simple training for our construction workers. It will help them to know what to do first, and when to call their escalation resources. Also, I loved that I didn't have to listen to the audio.... I read fast, and my time is valuable. Thank you!
