Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 When attending water damage building and occupants are suffering poor health what guidance should be given regarding the health and risk aspects to both occupants and workers? There is only one maximum exposure level for one type of mould (aspergillus flavus -aflatoxin) and absolutely no idea of complex synergy between bacteria and variant mould genus? While work place legislation may require the wearing of PPE this does not roll over to occupants. Do we assume the potential toxicity which may be a legal responsibility to our employees and issue relevant PPE but ignore the occupants who may be exposed 24/7 ? How do you measure the risk/toxicity when no guidance or standards exist? How do you prove clearance of contswmination (not spores)and oif you can´t whats your liability?
