Dear John,

Is your work environment making you sick? And no, we’re not talking about our current political climate – the air you breathe at work could be hazardous to your health.

Mold is a naturally occurring fungi that is prevalent across the world. But when it begins to grow indoors, the results can be harmful to our health.

That’s why AFGE has developed a new training series about mold – from what it is to how it could affect your health. AFGE began rolling out the training series last fall, and now all four modules are online at AFGE Learn.

Here are details on each module:

Module 1

Title: What is mold?
Description: This course defines mold, details the life cycle of mold spores, and explains how mold finds its way into our workplaces.

Module 2

Title: How does mold affect the environment?
Description: This course discusses the perfect breeding ground for mold and what is the ideal relative humidity for the workplace.

Module 3

Title: How does mold affect me?
Description: This course explores how mold grows in the environment and its impact on human health and overall well-being.

Module 4

Title: How to assess and control mold conditions?
Description: This course provides essential training on identifying, assessing, and controlling mold in occupational settings, and highlights the union's role in protecting workers' health.
