The building is safe to enter based on the following conditions. This will be communicated at the site with a bulletin:
Is it safe to access and use a facility with visual and airborne mold?
There are many types of mold. Mold spores are always found in the air we breathe, but extensive mold exposures might cause health problems for some individuals. Currently, there are no federal/state standards or recommendations, (e.g., OSHA, NIOSH, EPA) for airborne concentrations of mold or mold spores in the workplaces. It is not known at which concentration of mold might cause health problems, as some people are more sensitive to mold than others. Due to the lack of guidance, OSS recommends that an individual who has a pre-existing health condition (e.g., allergies, asthma, emphysema, or compromised immune system), young infants, and the elderly should limit access to the complaint areas where there is mold. If any employee exhibits adverse health effects from working in the complaint areas, the employee should limit their access to the complaint areas until the mold remediation is completed.
