Legionella Risk Prevention Plans

› Legionella Risk Prevention Plans

A legionella risk prevention plan is essential to keeping your employees and the general public health as well as ensuring you are not in violation of local or New York legionella compliance laws.

What Is A Legionella Risk Prevention Plan?

A legionella risk prevention plan is a way to reduce the risk of legionella contamination of your water source. There are New York City as well as New York State compliance guidelines and laws that residents and business owners must follow. A legionella risk prevention plan ensures the individual is in compliance and adequately reduces the risk of legionella.

What Does A Legionella Risk Prevention Plan Include?

A legionella risk prevention plan should include risk assessment, operation plan, monitoring water temperature, preventing water from becoming stagnant, and keeping the water system disinfected. At Legionella Compliance Solutions, we customize your risk prevention plans according to the specifics of your situation.

Monitor and Control the Water Temperature

Managing the water temperature of the water in your cooling tower, fountains, pond or home is essential to legionella risk prevention. These bacteria are known to multiply when between 68 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas temperatures above 140 Fahrenheit kill legionella. Therefore, understanding how monitoring and controlling water temperature affects legionella growth is essential to limiting risk and prevention.

Prevent Stagnant or Uncirculated Water

Keep the Water System Clean and Disinfected

If legionella and other bacteria do invade your water system, it is essential to clean it promptly. Also, keeping water clean can reduce the risk of legionella entering your water and multiplying in the first place.

Maintain the Water System with Legionella Control Equipment

Legionella control equipment and other equipment such as remote monitoring devices are useful in monitoring and maintaining the cleanliness of your water source as well as preventing the growth of legionella. Utilizing legionella control equipment also helps ensure you are in compliance with local and state legionella prevention laws.

The Importance Of Legionella Risk Prevention For Risk Mitigation

The best way to deal with legionella is to prevent it in the first place, and our team can help you do exactly that with a legionella prevention plan. A legionella risk prevention plan mitigates risk by continually monitoring factors that increase the risk of legionella and correcting any issues that arise promptly. For businesses, the prevention of legionella ensures you do not have to shut down your operation and are not vulnerable to fines and other consequences that may result from not complying with local and state regulations.
