SECTION 945
Minimum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments by licensed persons
Labor (LAB) CHAPTER 31, ARTICLE 32, TITLE 2
§ 945. Minimum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments by
licensed persons. 1. A mold assessment licensee shall prepare a mold
remediation plan that is specific to each remediation project and
provide the plan to the client before the remediation begins. The mold
remediation plan must specify:

(a) the rooms or areas where the work will be performed;

(b) the estimated quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed;

(c) the methods to be used for each type of remediation in each type
of area;

(d) the personal protection equipment (PPE) to be supplied by licensed
remediators for use by licensed abaters;

(e) the proposed clearance procedures and criteria for each type of
remediation in each type of area;

(f) when the project is a building that is currently occupied, how to
properly notify such occupants of such projects taking into
consideration proper health concerns; the plan must also provide
recommendations for notice and posting requirements that are appropriate
for the project size, duration and points of entry;

(g) an estimate of cost and an estimated time frame for completion;
and

(h) when possible, the underlying sources of moisture that may be
causing the mold and a recommendation as to the type of contractor who
would remedy the source of such moisture.

2. The remediation plan may require containment, as appropriate, to
prevent the spread of mold to areas of the building outside the
containment under normal conditions of use.

3. A mold assessment licensee who indicates in a remediation plan that
a disinfectant, biocide, or antimicrobial coating will be used on a mold
remediation project shall indicate a specific product or brand only if
it is registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
for the intended use and if the use is consistent with the
manufacturer's labeling instructions. A decision by a mold assessment
licensee to use such products must take into account the potential for
occupant sensitivities.
