Risk Communication & Conflict Resolution Seminar
|
October 16, 2018
8:30am - 1:00pm
Augusta, ME
The nightmare scenario: Your local elementary school discovers mold in the building. The moisture problem is identified and repaired, and a professional services company is hired to do clean-up. Problem solved, right? Wrong. Parents express concern for the health of the indoor environment. Demands for repeated environmental testing are made. Now teachers are complaining about health problems. Everyone wants proof that the building is safe. Distrust and blame are assessed all around. Individuals on both sides are dissatisfied. The building is evacuated. The issue hits the local papers, then the airwaves. Jobs are now on the line. Years pass before trust between parties is restored.
