Legionella Prevention
The Risk
Risks to building water systems may not always seem significant during the application and approval process. As new mandates and regulatory standards are being formulated and enforced at a higher level for water systems, companies must take a proactive approach to knowing the health of any building water system in which they are utilizing.
The Threat
Businesses must have a clear understanding of the potential consequences of a Legionella threat, case, or outbreak. A case or an outbreak investigation is costly to a company’s reputation and bottom line. It becomes a lengthy process that will take time and money and could result in litigation and a decline in reputational image. The threat of Legionella is daunting to any company. Navigating a case investigation, dealing with the Department of Health, and taking active steps to detect, prevent, and treat Legionella is complicated and requires a vast amount of expertise and experience.
