3. Minimum work standards that the program intends to establish for the better mold

assessments and the activities that involve the remediation performed by licensed

contractors. These includes; fraud protection by performing the remediation and the mold

assessment prohibiting on the same property by the same person, products used for

disinfectants to be identified, project notice to be posted with the contractor’s license and

the post-remediation completion assessment.
