Legionella Basics in a COVID-19 World
Event Description

Join us on Thursday, August 27, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. EST for a one-hour discussion of Legionnella, the bacteria that can grow in building HVAC and water systems and causes Legionnaires Disease, a severe, and sometimes fatal, form of pneumonia.  Understanding Legionnella is especially critical as schools and other buildings re-open after extended shut-downs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program will provide building owners, facility managers, inspectors, industrial hygienists, and others with a “refresher” on the basics of preventing, recognizing, testing, and control of Legionella.  Topics include:

  • Overview of the AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) Guidlines for Recognition, Evaluation and Control
  • How to identify areas or devices in buildings where Legionella might grow or spread to people.
  • A review of water management plans, regulatory information, case studies and outbreak management
  • Dealing with HVAC systems and concerns in the new COVID-19 world.
