PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES? April 27, 2022
Today’s water systems are made from a variety of piping materials that impact water quality. The type of piping material has a direct influence on the risk of microbial contamination inside your water system. Specific materials have different tolerances to high heat, chlorine and other biocides used in Legionella control. Join us and explore the variety of piping materials and their susceptibility to Legionella and Legionella risks.
PUZZLED BY ASHRAE 188’S REQUIREMENT FOR DESIGNING BUILDING WATER SYSTEMS? FEBRUARY 2, 2022
When designing new buildings or renovations, you should be aware that ASHRAE 188 includes specific requirements in Section 8! This section is frequently overlooked when developing water safety & management plans and also overlooked by designers and engineers! In this presentation we will review the ASHRAE 188 requirements and how your water safety team should plan to address these elements.

PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS? JUNE 23
Learn about the Veterans Health Administrations experiences with implementing Legionella prevention programs at hundreds of healthcare buildings across the country, including a description of the national policy (VHA Directive 1061) and practical lessons from program implementation.
PUZZLED BY SINK SPLASH CONTAMINATION? MAY 26
Learn about the risks of infection from plumbing fixtures in the healthcare environment and methods of preventing these infections. Surveillance methods for waterborne-healthcare-acquired infections will also be presented.
PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA AND WATERBORNE PATHOGENS ON ICE? MAY 12
Dr. Prevost will first present the results of several recommissioning case studies showing that not all buildings are contaminated with Legionella after extended stagnation and that other OPPs should be considered. Then she will show findings from a detailed intervention study to measure the impact of dally, weekly and monthly flushing and shook chlorination on the prevalence and concentrations on Legionella pneumophilia in a heavily contaminated large building.
PUZZLED BY THE 2021 CDC TOOLKIT FOR CONTROLLING LEGIONELLA IN COMMON SOURCES OF EXPOSURE? APRIL 28
Get an overview of the CDC’s Legionella Control Toolkit. Released in January 2021, the toolkit provides information in controlling Legionella in the most common water sources implicated in outbreaks: potable water, cooling towers, hot tubs, decorative fountains, and other devices.
