WASHINGTON, DC — The Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association (SMWIA) has formally announced its support for the “United States Toxic Mold Safety & Protection Act” (HR 5040), a new bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representative John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI).
The bill calls upon the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue guidelines that define acceptable and unacceptable levels of mold in buildings and to set standards for those who inspect and clean up mold-infected sites, requiring states to license and monitor mold remediators.
