[infobox style=”alert-success”]Description [/infobox]

There is a critical need for environmental contractors who are specifically trained to help sensitized people find a safe haven in their homes. This one-day technical seminar is designed for mold remediation contractors, cleaning companies, inspectors, and others who are serious about assisting sensitized people. It offers a comprehensive approach to these challenging situations by addressing every aspect of a mold remediation project, including source removal, content cleaning, decontamination of HVAC systems, and elimination of microbial reservoirs from the entire structure.

While many contractors advertise services that address water-damaged buildings, few of them have taken the time to study the ever expanding science related to building contaminants and health, or even the latest remediation techniques. Since a growing group of physicians are specializing in biotoxin illness related to water-damaged buildings, restoration and cleaning contractors are being called upon to assist with projects where their effectiveness has a direct impact on the health of the occupants.

In such cases both the clients and the contractor are learning the hard way that standard mold remediation protocols are not enough. This training program bridges the gaps in the current standard of care for fungal remediation to help those people battling to regain their health after a biotoxin illness by linking them with contractors that understand the ramifications of their actions.

In the past, one of the most difficult aspects of addressing the environmental component of a biotoxin illness is that even good contractors were not sure how to determine whether an occupied space was “clean enough” after remediation. Contractors who complete this new program will learn of specific endpoints that have been shown to be beneficial for sensitized individuals.

Coming into the Remediation for Sensitized Individuals course with a solid understanding of the basics of mold control and the unique challenges faced by individuals who have been impacted by contaminants in water damaged buildings would be very helpful. The course provides information on the endpoints that help to define the various aspects of work in water damaged buildings and offers an array of suggestions for methods to meet those endpoints. Nevertheless, the class does not focus on one specific process as a variety of means and methods can be used to remediate a space to the level where it is acceptable for sensitized individuals. The suggested pre-course webinars provide a wealth of information that is expanded upon in the live class. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals complete the 9-part webinar—A Practical Approach to Assisting Sensitized Individuals in conjunction with their class training. Any contractor wishing to be certified will need to verify completion of both the webinar series and the one day class.
