Description
Make the best decisions for your project by understanding the guidelines, standards, and complexities for mold remediation.
The first mold remediation guidelines were written over 20 years ago. Since that time, experts in the industry have been working to refine and standardize the process of mold remediation. However, even with the development of new standards by industry groups, there is still a wide range of opinions concerning the best approach for mold remediation. This presentation will discuss some of the guidelines and standards used for mold remediation and provide realworld examples and experiences to help attendees understand the complexities of mold remediation, which will aid them in making the best decisions for their project.
