Keep mold at bay

Indoor mold growth prevention is possible – moisture control is the key. When water leaks or spills are discovered, act fast. “A prompt response (within 24 to 48 hours) and thorough cleanup, drying, and/or removal of water-damaged materials will prevent or limit mold growth,” OSHA states.

Other tips include:

• Conduct a walkthrough of your workplace to look for condensation or wet spots. Fix any water leaking issues you find.
• Perform regular maintenance inspections on heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
• Keep indoor relative humidity levels below 70 percent.
• Ensure your building has adequate drainage and that the ground slopes away from its foundation.
• Vent moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, outside when possible.
