Testing For Mold Requires Training

November 12, 2007 By

Testing for mold is not difficult. But you need to know not only where to look for it but also which species are toxigenic or allergenic. One also requires to have a clearly defined objective for the testing. If the objective of testing for mold requires that samples be taken, it is important to know what types of samples to take and the limitations or disadvantages of different types of samples. The type of samples to take is determined by the type of data the mold investigator requires. The type of data required, on the other hand, is determined by the objective(s) of the investigation.

There are some mold training courses out there that can provide you with basic skills necessary for mold investigation. You may want to review the Mold Training Course offered by MBL. This unique, comprehensive one-day training course focuses on how to recognize indoor mold, how to develop effective sampling strategies, how to interpret laboratory results and current guidelines on mold remediation.

A Mold Training Course With A Difference

July 3, 2007 By

The MBL mold training course was first offered on July 5, 2005. Readers of our newsletter suggested that we provide some training based on the topics we used to discuss in our newsletters. That is how this course was born. Since then we have offered the course at least once every month!

Mold training course manual and CDThe mold training course started as a half-day course covering topics such as:

  • How to recognize indoor mould. This section of the course was initially designed for beginners but even experienced professionals have found it useful. Sometimes, one can’t tell for sure whether they are dealing with mold or not.
  • How to develop effective sampling strategies. Whether to sample for mold or not (like many other issues involving mold) is controversial. However, there are instances where sampling can’t be avoided. Collection of the right kind of samples and at the right place can make results interpretation easier.
  • How to interpret laboratory results. With no standards on permissible exposure levels, opinions on lab results can significantly differ. An understanding of the key limitations of lab results and the principles applied on results interpretation is essential.

A number of participants suggested that we increase the course content to make it a one-day course. We added more material to the original sections and also added a section on mold control.

The mold training course is currently offered by MBL in association with Golder Associates Limited. It is has been approved by a number of reputable organization for continuous education. These organizations include:
