Start on the path to effective Legionella mitigation by identifying the points of risk that may be lurking at your facility today. Then determine which solutions would be best for your facility and implement your Water Quality Management Plan.
Getting a good WMP is only the beginning. It must be well executed to be successful.
Implement your control measures. Educate employees. Verify implementation. Validate well. Respond appropriately to test results. Document thoroughly and efficiently. Hold team meetings no less than quarterly. Revise the plan based on verification and validation results and new scientific findings, technology, standards and regulations.
Your efforts will help you reduce your legal risk, avoid business losses and protect against brand damage. You may even save lives.
We are asked to review, audit, improve upon, or otherwise comment documents which are Legionella control policies. So, what’s the difference between a “Policy” and a “Plan”?
The biggest difference between Legionella policies, versus actual water management plans/programs is: policies typically lack the site-specific control measures found within genuine plans or programs, which are vitally essential in order to help mitigate any specific building or system risks uncovered during a comprehensive risk assessment.
