This highly informative 2.5-hour course is specifically designed for facility managers, engineers, and infection control professionals.
Water stagnation in piping because of low or no occupancy offers the perfect breeding ground for Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. For hospitals, it is a critical issue affecting patient health and safety. Read on to discover how regularly flushing lines with water can mitigate the issue.
Plumbing designers and engineers will have the tools and knowledge to mitigate the potential of Legionella growth if they implement the correct actions and abide by relative regulations.
The Legionator significantly reduces the potential for Legionella at the point-of-use using technology developed by Intellihot, including a built-in ozone generator and quartz scale-free heating.
The free webinar will take place on March 29, 2023, at 1 p.m. CST.
To develop this guide, ASPE assembled a working group consisting of ASPE members actively engaged in the use of Legionella mitigation techniques as well as practitioners involved with rectifying outbreaks.
