Activity Description

About the Activity Sheet

This activity sheet does not provide an in-depth analysis of OSHA standards and regulations and cannot address all hazards. It does not increase or diminish any OSHA requirement or employer obligation under those requirements. It is intended as a guide and quick reference for employers and response and recovery workers. The Matrix captures major activities involved in hurricane response and recovery, highlights many of the hazards associated with them, and recommends beneficial work practices, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other exposure control methods. Employers must evaluate the specific hazards associated with the job/operation at the site where the work is being performed.

Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their workers. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

The Hazard Exposure and Risk Assessment Matrix for Hurricane Response and Recovery Work provides a general overview of particular topics related to current OSHA standards. It does not alter or determine compliance responsibilities in OSHA standards or the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, or the equivalent State Plan standards and requirements. Because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, you should consult current OSHA/State Plan administrative interpretations and decisions by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the courts for additional guidance on OSHA compliance requirements. Employers should modify their procedures as appropriate when additional, relevant information becomes available.

General Recommendations Key Engineering Controls and Work Practices. See general recommendations document.

Personal Protective Equipment. The general PPE is recommended for all response/recovery tasks/operations; only the additional PPE that may be needed for a specific hazard is noted below

Mold Remediation - OSHA

Mold removal (also known as mold remediation), is the process of cleaning mold byremoving moldand treating surfaces and materials thathave been contaminated by mold or mildew. The methods used forremoving moldwill vary, depending on the type of mold in the house andthe effects of mold on the surface or material.

To ensure you are completelyremoving moldin your home, a customized mold inspection and mold cleanup process will be followed toproperly remove and treat the contaminated areas. Mold testing options include air-o-cell tests and swab samples to identify the types andconcentrations of mold present in an environment. Once the source and types of mold are identified, a mold removal plan will be developedand executed, including containment of the work area to control and limit the spread of mold in the house or other contaminants intosurrounding areas of the home.

AdvantaClean specializes inremoving mold, and their mold specialists use HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums for final mold removalafter affected areas have been thoroughly dried and contaminated materials have been removed. HEPA vacuums have specialized filters thatcapture tiny mold particles that would typically pass right through a normal vacuum filter. HEPA vacuums are also used for the cleanup of dustthat may have settled on surfaces outside of themold remediationarea.

Steps Method 1 Attacking Mold Basics

Consider throwing away absorbent or porous materials. Absorbent or porous materials, such as drywall or ceiling tiles, may need to be discarded if the mold damage is severe enough. Because mold can fill the tiny cracks and pores of these materials, it may be difficult to remove the mold completely. Cleaning, in this instance, will only temporarily inhibit mold growth; unless you remove the surface from your home completely, mold will keep coming back.

How do I completely remove mold from automatic coffee machine, I can't reach all places inside with a scrub and bleach spray, coffee still makes me sick after trying.

wikiHow Contributor

Pour in a cup hydrogen peroxide and the rest water then run the coffee machine. Use qtips with peroxide to get the tight spots.

I have mold on the exterior of my stucco home, which has bushes and plants surrounding it. I have used a power washer but it wasn't effective enough. How can I kill mold this mold?

wikiHow Contributor

There is an oil blend called Thieves essential oil that will kill mold. Use a spray bottle and soak the stucco with this oil. The proportion of oils seems to work best is 40 drops of clove, 35 drops of lemon, 20 drops of cinnamon, 15 drops of eucalyptus, and 10 drops of rosemary. Fill your spray bottle the rest of the way with water, and shake well before use.

How do I get rid of mold on the interior of a wall?

wikiHow Contributor

Use a mixture of chlorine bleach and water. Make sure you have gloves and lots of ventilation. Also, think about WHY you have mold. Mold only grows in the presence of water. Check for leaks and fix them.

How do I remove mold from a dish washer?

wikiHow Contributor

Clean all of the seals with a sponge containing full strength hydrogen peroxide and use cotton swabs soaked with peroxide to get in the small places. When you clean the seals, be sure to start at the bottom of the dishwasher and work your way up to avoid pushing the mold into unseen places. Allow to air dry, and then use dry cotton swabs to reach any damp areas. Then use a special dishwasher cleaner. To prevent further mold issues, empty your dishwasher promptly and leave the door ajar.

How do I remove mold or mildew stains from a mirror?

wikiHow Contributor

If the mold has reached the back of the mirror, I don't believe it is possible to remove it without damaging the mirror. You can try washing gently with a mixture of chlorine bleach and water, or even just plain bleach, but be very careful and test a small part of the mirror before you proceed. The danger is that you could remove the coating that makes the mirror reflective along with the mold.

Can mold grow on carpet?

wikiHow Contributor

Yes. If you spill a drink, even if it's water, dry it as much as possible or mold could grow.

How can I remove black mold from a wedding dress?

wikiHow Contributor

Assuming it is white, use bleach 1 cup per gallon, soak 10 minutes and rinse well. Put on gloves and an N-95 mask. Unfortunately, this is not practical if there are rhinestones or embellishments.

Mold keeps reappearing on the walls of our external bedroom. The room has good ventilation and heat, but the plaster is approximately 100 years old. Should we replace the plaster and seal both the inside and outside walls of this room?

3 Ways to Remove Mold and Mildew - wikiHow

Before cleaning mold in your home, first understand why mold is there and fix the problem causing the mold growth. This will require a thorough inspection. Fungi (or mold) need a source of moisture, a source of organic matter, and proper temperature. Areas inside your home that have poor air movement and a source of moisture are likely areas for mold growth.

Once the source of the water intrusion and the food source have been found, they should be addressed to prevent future mold growth. If this is not done, mold may return. You must either eliminate or ventilate the source of water or moisture. Affected building materials, such as carpets or drywall, may need to be replaced.

Testing for mold is generally not necessary. If you can see and smell it, you have a mold problem. However, it is recommended that you do have a thorough inspection to determine the cause of the mold growth.DHS recommends that you hire a consultant specializing in building assessments to evaluate your entire house.

Here are IAQ consultants and mold remediation contractors whose primary focus is mold:

Occasionally, mold can be found in the bathroom, on a windowsill, shower curtain, or wall. This mold can be wiped off the surface with a damp cloth and cleaning agent (such as window or bathroom cleaner). Preventing mold growth requires controlling the moisture source, which may be as simple as using a dehumidifier or fixing a simple leak.

For larger mold problems (about 10 square feet), follow the three (3) phases below. (If you feel that the following guidelines are too vigorous, you should contact a mold contractor to complete the cleanup.)

WARNING: Do not mix bleach with other household cleaners. Some household cleaners contain ammonia. If ammonia is mixed with chlorine bleach, a toxic gas can form, causing serious injury or death.

CAUTION: The bleach solution is irritating and harmful to the skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid direct contact with the bleach by wearing rubber gloves, respirator and goggles during the entire mixing and cleaning process.

Before you begin:

Welcome to Indiana Mold Remediation! We are a locally owned company serving Indiana since 2001. We perform mold inspections, testing, and remediation for a variety of clients ranging from home owners and real estate professionals to government agencies and state universities.

We have made it our mission to help you with your mold problems, even if you don't hire us. This website provides free information about mold and how to deal with it.

Below are some tips that may help if you discover mold growth in your home or business. More information can be obtained by phone at 317-867-4766. We won't charge for the call, and we won't try to sell you anything.

Our first words of advice when dealing with mold are: Don't Panic!

Few emotions can be as powerful as fear. When we fear for our safety, or health, or the unknown, we tend to make rash decisions that aren't necessarily in our best interest. So stop, breathe, and think about your options. You can get through this. This is a problem that can be solved.

The second thing you should do when dealing with mold is to conduct a little research. If you plan to clean up the mold yourself, you will want to research mold and methods of mold remediation. If you plan to hire somebody to tackle the problem for you, you will also want to research mold remediation companies.

Some useful resources can be found on the right side of our FAQ page.

You want to take care of your own mold problem? We aren't one of those companies that say it can't be done; in fact, we congratulate you for having that pioneering spirit!

We try to give as much information and advice as possible for the do-it-yourself types here on our website; however, Uncle Sam has a much larger budget. The folks over at the EPA have put together a very nice Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home. This guide is a helpful, informative, and common sense approach to cleaning up mold backed up by a lot of scientific research. If you still have questions after reading the guide, or if reading isn't your thing; please call us. We don't care that you're not going to hire us; we just want to help.

Not willing or able to remove the mold yourself? That's okay. There are many good, reputable mold remediation companies out there, but you should do a little research to make sure you don't end up on the wrong side of a bad deal. We have put together a Mold Remediation Buyer's Guide that lists some of the things you might want to find out before hiring a contractor.
