945 - Minimum work standards for the conduct of mold assessments by licensed persons.

  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.
