Establishes certain minimum work standards for licensed mold assessment and remediation work, including the requirement that licensees take into account, when deciding whether to use a disinfectant, biocide or antimicrobial coating on a mold remediation project, "the potential for occupant sensitivities and possible adverse reactions to chemicals that have the potential to be off-gassed from surfaces." The department has developed a list of approved mold training course providers. (See https://dol.ny.gov/approved-mold-training-course-providers.)

The Office has developed a certification form and guidance document that require license applicants in Zone 1 areas who have not already tested for radon to "complete testing and resolve any identified problems before registration/licensing is completed." (See LDSS-7040, Environmental Hazards Guidance Sheet, available at: https://ocfs.ny.gov/search/docs.php?type=1&topic=3.)
