Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I can't tell you how to get a company to actually move on testing. I have been having a lot of issues at my work. Would your workplace allow you to move to a different office? I found that when I moved to a different floor, my symptoms weren't as severe. However, that doesn;t solve the problem. The one thing I have started doing is documenting when I bring up these concerns. Is filing a complaint with your state's occupation safety and health department an option for you? weimarschnauzerluver <weimarschnauzerluver@...> wrote: I was having tightness in my chest and chest pain, so I went to the allergy dr. and he diagnosed me with asthma and allergies to mold, dust, etc..

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I had to go to my work place last friday to get my short term disabilty check. The courier was really late delivering them. I waited out in the lobby for a little over an hour and THREE people who work there (and I do not know them) walked out with breathing problems, they were going on leave of absence by doctor's orders. I was not talking to them as the security guard was there, I just over heard them telling the guard why they were leaving. I dropped off more medical papers this past monday and TWO more were there with breathing problems. One girl said they were going to fire her for all the time she missed because of her breathing problems. None of these people know me or I them. I am thinking of putting an anonymos ad in the paper explaining the sick building symptoms so the employee's will wake up. (And by the way, I was so sick on last saturday it wasn't funny.) I hate even going into the lobby there. Sure wish that the Health and Labour testing would come back. Also waiting for my own doctor's results on paper...slowwwwwwwwww. Work is still in denial. Your experience sounds the same as mine.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Our building was built in the 50's or 60's, so it is really old. I don't think the ventiliation is good either. I think I am going to buy one of those test it yourself kits just to see what kind of results I get. I am trying to get them to do something without going to drastic measures yet. --- In , " elvira52 " <Elvira52@b...> wrote: > > Get Someone you know to have the AC tested this is very important for new buildings built in the past 10 years or if you had repairs.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Since I live in Canada I called my local hospital to see about getting a test kit to test the water at work. The hospital only does generic testing and not for molds. So I called the agricultural college to see if they could do any tests for me. (A fellow that I work with was going to sneak the test bottles in to get the samples, nice that he is) The college educated me to call the dept of Health & Labour as the agri rep said that it sounded like a " sick building " . I then spoke to a REALLY nice guy at the govenment Health & Labour dept. He had worked in a " sick building " before. " Steve " told me stuff that I had never thought of, certain symptoms to look for, etc. It was " Steve that called in the " big boys " to test the building in a surprise inspection. They are pretty busy but ARE going to do the tests, Water coolers, ice/water machine, air vents, bathroom sewer gases, all surfaces, ceiling tiles, you name it they are going to test it. In canada it is illegal to have an unsafe work place, and that includes Mold in the building. You DO NOT have to give your name to report a problem with the work place. Your employer will not be able to find out who reported it. Also you can get copies of their test results just by asking. Hope this helps if your work place is in Canada, SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 KD, I would say to you get samples and Pictures and be careful what you take into your car and home I use a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol or vinegar some may have other things you can use also Oregano oil. beware of daycare and Schools for your kids I live Under HUD Housing it took me 10 years to learn what was making me so ILL.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Nope. NIOSH is worthless where mold is concerned. I've seen what they will do, which amounts to the tired old, " There's more mold outside than inside " . In fact, they said those exact words to me. And they will bury the test results on you. Don't waste your time. If anything, they'll damage your ability to get decent testing done by convinving the people whoshould be taking notice that it's really no big deal. pizzahutoxic <pizzahutoxic@...> wrote: If I had to do this crap over again I would get a NIOSH evaluation.

I know they say this comes from dirt, chickens etc .... but could it be possible he caught it at work? He does a lot of maintenance work. We do have a lot of mice, rats, and snakes at work too. It is rediculous I almost stepped on a snake about 2 weeks ago. People don't believe me when I tell them this... laurie young <weimarschnauzerluver@...> wrote:So did they clean it up?
