Mold in the Workplace Can Affect Workers’ Health<\/p><\/div>\n

As an employer or landlord<\/a>, you have a responsibility to maintain safe conditions for employees and tenants. Mold and mold-related illnesses have become the\u00a0focus of an increasing number of lawsuits, making Manhattan mold removal<\/a> imperative. What can you do to protect employees and tenants while reducing liability?<\/p>\n

Preventing Mold in Commercial Buildings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mold spores surround us constantly, both indoors and out. Problems arise with extended exposure to large concentrations of indoor mold growth.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stay vigilant for signs of mold. Infestations may not always be visible, so your first clue may be a persistent musty smell<\/a>. You should also investigate if people begin complaining about chronic symptoms such as sneezing, coughing and fatigue.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Removing visible mold isn’t enough. Identify and resolve the cause, whether it’s leaky pipes, poor construction or excess humidity.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep employees or tenants informed about steps you’re taking to remediate mold<\/a>. Failure to disclose can cause reduction in morale and productivity while reflecting negatively on you in any possible legal action.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mold isn’t always covered by insurance. Check your policy, and if mold isn’t included, ask about purchasing additional coverage.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you’re doing any construction or renovations, review contracts to ensure contractors and subcontractors are liable for any defects that may cause mold.<\/p>\n
