1. The most critical course of action in respond quickly & mitigation
restorative drying is to and
begin as soon as possible.
2. All restorers should follow the standard of S500
care for the water restoration profession
developed by the restoration industry enti-
tled the IICRC .
3. To help protect technicians from the many potential exposures
hazards associated with contaminated wa-
ter losses, restorers need to have ready ac-
cess to several items. These items protect
for all to the body.
4. Respiratory protection regulations state 1. Medical evaluations
that the employer must provide: 2. Fit testing
3. Training
5. The contract clearly states the agree- before
ment between the building owner and the
restoration contractor. The form specifies
who is responsible for payment and should
be signed work begins.
6. The technicians first responsibility when safety hazards
arriving at a water damage site is to iden-
tify, communicate, and eliminate
if reasonably possible.
7. Federal regulations apply to the handling of lead
based paint and asbestos.
8. After safety concerns have been addressed potentially affected
and the initial water source has been
stopped, the restorer must complete an
evaluation of the water's migration through
the structure. During this process, the re-
storer inspects all
,areas.
, 9. The ultimate goal is to find the "edge" of losses, including the
water migration, which moves in a three-di- removal of all
mensional path throughout the structure.
This is accomplished across carpeted sur-
faces using a , and across
most hard surfaces using a -
(non-penetrating) moisture meter.
10. Water from a clean source with no substan-
tial risk of causing sickness of discomfort
is said to be _ water.
11. Water that has a significant degree of
chemical, biological, and/or physical conta-
mination and a potential to cause sickness
or discomfort is _.
12. Cleaning procedures must be employed
before the drying of a Category 2 water
loss can continue. At a minimum, affect-
ed (or pad) must be re-
moved and disposed of, and carpet must be
throughly cleaned using hot water extrac-
tion method.
13. When water intrusion results from a gross-
ly unsanitary source or carries
(disease causing) agents, it is said to be
Category 3.
14. Workers and occupant and safety
are the first priority on every sewage loss.
Areas affected by Category 3 water intru-
sion are marked and posted as potentially
hazardous.
15. Various cleaning and decontamination pro-
cedures must be used on Category 3 water
