Environmental Awareness in Restoration: Mould, Asbestos and Lead – Kelowna


by Insurance Institute of BC
May 17, 2016
Kelowna Ramada Hotel, 2170 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y-6G8 | 8:45 am – 12pm PST


Mould! Asbestos! Lead! The dangers and negative health effects associated with mould, asbestos and lead have heightened our awareness to prevent or manage these contaminates more conscientiously in the claims process. The prevention and effective remediation of these environmental concerns must be taken seriously by both insurance and restoration companies. Canada Mortgage and Housing states “people should not live in mouldy houses.” Buildings constructed prior to 1990 are at a greater risk of containing other hazardous materials.

SEMINAR TOPICS
– Factors that contribute to the growth of mould and how it can be prevented.
– Reasons why specific scientific water damage remediation processes are so important.
– Where and in what materials are lead and asbestos found.
– Procedure to follow when hazardous materials are suspected.
– How hazardous materials are effectively and efficiently remediated while reducing risk of liability.

SEMINAR PRESENTER
Art Johnson, CR, WLS – CEO, Johnson Training Inc.

AUDIENCE | Adjusters, Underwriters, Property/Facilities Managers and Owners
