Follow on Google News | Texas Indoor Environmental Experts Provide Tips for Managing Mold Complaints in the WorkplaceThe professionals at Indoor Environmental Consultants (IEC) identify, resolve and help to prevent mold and moisture issues that cause employee complaints and concerns.
By: Indoor Environmental Consultants, Inc. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing “safe and healthful working conditions” for their workers. One area of growing concern for many employees is the quality of the air they breathe while at work. Employees who work in buildings that have high humidity levels or that have suffered water damage are often worried about the possible presence of mold. Mold can begin to grow on many building materials and contents in less than 48 hours when moisture is present. Some workers that are exposed to elevated levels of mold in the air they breathe could develop a wide range of health issues. These include allergies, respiratory concerns, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and even fungal infections in workers with a weakened immune system. “Workers who suspect they have indoor air quality problems should report their concerns immediately to their supervisor,” IEC recently sponsored an educational video with tips for managing employee complaints associated with mold and moisture in the work environment that can be seen at: http://youtu.be/ To learn more about IEC’s indoor air quality testing and consulting services, please visit www.iecinc.net, email ncancino@iecinc.net or call (877) 432-8378.
