A bespoke course to provide delegates with the skills and knowledge to deal with a mould outbreak in collections, and to enable them to deal with mould damaged items in the future.
This one-day practical workshop will provide you with the knowledge of what causes mould, how to prevent future outbreaks and how to identify mould damaged items. It will look at the health hazards associated with mould and the steps you should take to reduce this risk. It will give you hands on experience of how to deal with a mould outbreak and how to clean mould-infected items. The focus is on giving you the practical skills, knowledge and confidence to treat mould damaged collections.
