What is the primary purpose of the mold-related services licensing program?

The primary purpose of the mold-related services licensing program is to regulate qualified mold service providers. This licensing ensures that individuals and companies engaged in mold assessment, remediation, or any related services meet specific standards of knowledge and professionalism. It aims to protect public health and safety by ensuring that mold issues are addressed effectively and ethically.

By regulating these professionals, the program sets clear guidelines on best practices, safety procedures, and the use of appropriate technologies. Licensing not only empowers consumers to trust that they are hiring qualified individuals, but it also helps create a standard in the industry that can lead to better outcomes in mold management and reduction of health risks associated with mold exposure.
