Meets VA Mold Remediation Worker (16 hour) Licensing Requirement

The CMW (certified mold worker) is trained in the processes leading to and involved in the remediation of mold from indoor environments. Those who work in the mold industry should understand the basic mycology of mold, the seven components of indoor air quality, moisture control, sanitization techniques, remediation guidelines, "generally accepted practices" including personal protection equipment (PPE), hazards communication (HazCom), and OSHA safe workplace practices. This comprehensive two-day training gives the worker what he needs to protect himself and his employer from downside litigation that sometimes accompanies mold remediation.

"Our industry has been fraught with fraud and characterized by unprofessional, incompetent and unhealthy work practice. Times are rapidly changing as more and more states adopt regulations to protect the property owner and employee from slip-shod work. This course was designed to assist licensed Remediators in their selection of competent workers. NORMI Certified Mold Workers understand how their segment of a project fits into the overall scope of work and thus provide a much safer workplace lending confidence to the Remediators efforts to provide complete mold services to their clients." D. Douglas Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI

The Class Schedule

Why this is so practical...

"Prior to remediation work, the water source contributing to the mold contamination should be identified and rectified. Isolated remediation areas should be dried prior to or at a minimum upon completion of the remediation work. If heightened levels of relative humidity, or saturated surfaces or structural components still exist when the pre-remediation walk-thrus are conducted, a separate scope of work for drying surfaces should be developed. Drying of structures and surfaces should be completed prior to post remediation clearance." Chuck Hector, CMR Trainer and Owner of Remediation Specialists, NJ

The CMW (Certified Mold Worker) is a trained professional who understands the assessment/remediation industry well enough to work in the field protecting both himself and his employer from downside litigation. Trained to meet specific requirements for certification, this professional has completed at least 16 hours of education in mold remediation techniques including assessment, mold, water, and respiratory protection (PPE). Based on a NORMI proctored examination, this mold professional follows industry standard protocols for either sanitization and remediation based on IICRC S500, IICRC S520, NYS Guidelines, and EPA Standards.

This two-day class is designed to cover a variety of mold remediation. Here is a brief overview of some of the areas we cover:

1. Understand the basic principles of microbial remediation as described and generally accepted as the standards in the industry.
2. Maintain familiarity with the equipment and supplies necessary to conduct a microbial remediation project, as well as, the methods for calibration and operation of such equipment.
3. Appreciate the safety hazards presented by microbial remediation projects, and follow the procedures necessary to protect building occupants and remediation workers from such hazards.
4. Recognize that microbial remediation may bring the worker into contact with regulated substances such as lead and asbestos and know what to do with these.
5. Properly address water damage in the indoor environment and understand the proper techniques for correcting such problems.
6. Perform structural remediation by establishing proper containment, engineering controls to prevent cross contamination and to protect worker safety and health.
7. Perform contents remediation by removing and properly disposing of damaged building contents and employing effective cleaning methods when appropriate.
8. Understand the inspection and assessment process and, by knowing these, prepare for post-remediation verification.
