Episode Synopsis
The DYOJO Podcast
Asbestos and Mold Testing for Home Repairs
Season 3, Episode 83
To start off we discuss the TWO THINGS your company needs, no matter how big or small, to be successful 1) Happy Customers and 2) Profitable Projects.
Resource - thedyojo.com/chart
We discuss the importance of identifying and mitigating hazards during water and fire damage restoration projects. There are broad rules such as those in the OSHA General Duty Clause, "The General Duty Clause from the OSHA Act of 1970 requires that, in addition to compliance with hazard-specific standards, all employers provide a work environment "free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm." There are also many specific rules regarding lead and asbestos sampling which are regulated by various entities such as Labor and Industries (LNI) in Washington State.
We discuss some of these elements further in a recent article from The DYOJO Blog - thedyojo.com/blog/asbestos-testing-requirements-for-water-damage
Many of the safety practices that contractors follow for mold remediation originate with asbestos abatement protocols. We discuss some of the resources for these topics including:
OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Training
IICRC Health and Safety Technician (HST)
IICRC S500 (Water) and S520 (Mold) Standards
EPA Asbestos Contractor/Supervisor Manual from ehsmaterials.com
