This is a 5-part, interactive course. Part one of this course provides an overview of mold. This course also contains research on mold and provides an overview on some of the potential health effects related to mold exposure.
The mold remediation industry is expected to follow the “Standard of Care”. Who defines what that is? Where can it be found? Who is the enforcer? Part 2 of this course answers those questions, making clear how each contractor can live up to those expectations with each project while reducing their risk of legal exposure.
Part 3 of this course examines the reasons for testing, the choices available, and the correct methods to collectively provide meaningful and accurate information to the remediation team. A combination of both science and art in the field and lab, you will learn how to sort through those sampling and analysis options and confidently describe why they are the best alternatives for each project.
Part 4 of this course was developed to help assessors and remediators who are trying to comply with requirements in Florida’s new law and regulation, specifically rule 61-31.701. Minimum Standards and Practices for Mold Assessors, and Florida’s rule 61-31.702. Minimum Standards and Practices for Mold Remediators. These rules require that certain reports are to be written by mold assessors and mold remediators over the course of the assessment and remediation. While the rule specifies certain information that must be in these reports, the rule does not specify the format, or give you examples on how to write these reports. This course was created to fill that gap.
Part 5 of this course studies the various forms of water intrusion; the physics of how it happens; its effects on building systems and materials; and ways to understand it, avoid it, and remedy it. It also illustrates the impact moisture intrusion has on mold growth, as well as the proliferation of other micro-organisms.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, 25-50 million Americans get the flu each year. Of those, about 500,000 are hospitalized due to complications. There are tens of thousands of flu-associated deaths each year as well. It is essential for everyone to know how to recognize the symptoms of the flu, as well as how to treat it, when to go to the doctor, and how to prevent from getting it again.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that, if present in blood, can cause disease in humans. These pathogens can be transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person by contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. There are a number of relatively simple actions which can be taken to drastically reduce the chance of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Depending on the type of work being done, workplace practices and methods can be modified to minimize the chance of exposure. Proper personal protective equipment is an important component in preventing the transfer of bloodborne pathogens from an infected person to a healthy person.

Heat stress is a serious concern in many workplaces. Every year heat stress affects thousands of people, and some die as a result. This course provides the information you’ll need to “beat the heat” and keep yourself and other workers safe. You’ll learn about the different types of heat stress, from the least severe (heat rash) to the most severe (heat stroke). It will explain how the body reacts to heat, and the causes of heat stress. Finally, it will list some factors that affect how individuals tolerate heat.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that, if present in blood, can cause disease in humans. These pathogens can be transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person by contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. In the hospitality industry, which includes hotels and motels, employees may come into contact with blood or other possibly infectious bodily fluids. This can happen when cleaning rooms, stripping beds, and handling laundry. Given the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, this course will cover how workers can recognize the dangers of possible infection, what precautions are needed to minimize the risk, and what procedures to follow if exposed to possibly infectious bodily fluids.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that, if present in blood, can cause disease in humans. These pathogens can be transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person by contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. In an active school environment, younger children are going to get cuts and scrapes as they participate in physical activities. Older students are going to be involved in accidents, fighting, and even drug use. All of these activities present the risk to school staff members of exposure to blood and bloodborne pathogens. This course will cover some of the dangers to staff members posed by exposure to bloodborne pathogens, what precautions are needed to minimize the risk, and what procedures to follow if exposed to possibly infectious bodily fluids.

What if a third of our employees could not come to work because they were sick – or were caring for sick family members? What if the companies that we rely on to do business – suppliers, staffing companies, even banking – could not take care of our business due to flu absences in their own companies?
An outbreak of influenza can cripple a business’s productivity if a large percentage of its employees are infected all at once. As the threat of a pandemic flu increases, business managers and HR professionals should take steps now to create and implement a pandemic influenza response plan. If done properly, an influenza response plan can help businesses reduce the risk of a large percentage of absenteeism and maintain crucial operations, as influenza is more widely transmitted.
This course will explain the latest CDC and Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines, as well as provide checklists and sample communications to help business and HR professionals assemble a pandemic influenza response plan. The training provided in this course will help employers to determine how to avoid adverse effects on other entities in their supply chains while also reducing transmission among staff.
