Stern Mold

Mold species are virtually everywhere, and the majority of them are not toxic to humans. But there are some that can cause serious health issues. In the home, it’s much easier to keep mold in check, but that’s not the same for the workplace. Many employers find it once it has seriously progressed, and when it reaches that point, NYC mold removal is needed.

But in the meantime, there’s a lot you can do to keep yourself safe if your office is a place where mold is a serious problem.

Avoid Spaces with Humid Air

Humidity is the perfect breeding environment for mold. During the spring and summer, there may be some rooms at your workplace where mold thrives. Try to avoid these spaces if at all possible. Also, if you find a leak, report it right away. They can lead to mold problems as well.

Keep the Refrigerator Clean

Mold can, and often does grow on leftover or older foods that may be forgotten in your office’s refrigerator. If you want to cut down on mold exposure, make it your job to clean it out at least once every month.

Use Protective Equipment

Safety glasses and face masks can be very helpful if you have to be in a place where mold is a problem. You can develop health issues from mold even if you’ve never had them in the past. It’s important to protect yourself.
