Water Leak and Mold on Walls

Water Leak and Mold on Walls

Q. I work for a large national retailer in Santa Rosa, Ca. about 3 weeks ago there was an extensive water leak in the stock room which poured into the lingerie fitting rooms, under the walls, and then down the walls to the downstairs also out of the top of the acoustic ceiling. the fire dept. came out and all that was done afterwards was they put a heater in the fitting room with 2 fans, sealed off the doorway for about 3 days. then they drilled about twenty 2'" holes around the baseboards. the other day myself and another employee from the lingerie dept experienced bloody noses, we overheard that bleach was added to the carpets. now the wallpaper is peeling and it does smell like mold and it has given us headaches. I pointed it out to my human resource manager of the store and he brushed me off. [3/23/2003]

A. Most employers do not care if workplace mold injures employee and customer health. In time, the mold lawyers will change their lax attitudes by getting large jury awards for failure to provide safe working conditions. Your first mold investigative step should be to test the workplace air in the flood rooms yourself with do-it-yourself mold test kits available from a large hardware, home improvement, or safety store, with expert mold analysis and mold species identification. If the mold lab results show elevated levels of airborne mold spores in the workplace, you can then give a copy of the test results to your boss, and to his boss if necessary, and to corporate headquarters if necessary. If no one at your company is concerned about your working in unsafe mold infestation, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration because unresolved workplace mold problems are OHSA safety violations for which your employer can receive large fines. You can also consider hiring a mold attorney to represent your interest and well-being. Please visit: Toxic Black Mold Attorney

You need to know how seriously and where your home, business, or place of employment might be mold contaminated. Samples of any visible mold should be collected using the Scotch tape lift sampling method explained on Lift Tape Sampling. You can have your mold sample submitted and analyzed by certified mold laboratories, so that you will find out the toxicity level of your mold. You can use the result of the mold laboratory test as evidence, in case your mold problem will be brought to trial or any legal means.
