Many businesses and organizations, including government-owned facilities, can experience mould at their facilities at some point in their business life. A mould is a fungi that germinates from spores in moist conditions on the surface of food, fabric, wood, paper, or insulation. Not everyone is at risk from exposure to moulds but certain groups of individuals, including infants and the elderly, are particularly susceptible to mould-induced allergies or infections. Providing information on the hazards associated with mould is an important aspect of the health and safety requirements for businesses and organizations.
