If your building has mold, there is more at risk than your structural safety – you could be putting your employees at a serious health risk. Commercial mold damage can pose long-lasting health risks to employees and employers working in its vicinity. Mold exposure in the workplace is an urgent issue that necessitates speedy and thorough remediation from a trusted local mold remediation company.
What Causes Mold in Commercial Buildings?
Even though household mold has become a topic of conversation in recent years, mold in commercial buildings can go undetected for long periods of time. Commercial water damage is evasive but highly dangerous. Indoor humidity, roof leaks and HVAC mold growth can all be the root cause of mold in commercial office buildings. Other common sources can include:
- Leaking pipes or roofs
- Poor ventilation
- HVAC systems
- Flooding or water damage
- Excess condensation
The Health Risks of Mold Exposure for Employees
Employee mold exposure is not only a threat to OSHA compliance, but it also poses serious health risks that can hinder employees’ mental and physical health. High-risk groups such as asthmatics and immunocompromised individuals are particularly susceptible to the negative effects of mold in the workplace. Short and long-term symptoms of poor workplace air quality include:
- Respiratory issues
- Skin irritation
- Chronic fatigue
- Headaches and cognitive effects
