Water Program
Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia with fatality rates between 10-25%, often garners attention during outbreaks. However, proactive measures, such as implementing a water safety management plan, can prevent up to 90% of Legionnaires’ disease cases in the US, as recommended by the CDC.
At GermBlast, we prioritize public health by offering a comprehensive site-specific water management program following ASHRAE standard 188. Our program encompasses a range of essential components:
- Flow Diagrams and Control Locations: We develop flow diagrams for portable and process water systems, identifying control locations to prevent hazards and ensure water safety.
- Hazard Analysis and Control Limits: Our hazard analysis summaries and control limits establish monitoring schedules for each control point, facilitating proactive risk management.
- Employee Training and Corrective Actions: We provide comprehensive employee training and outline corrective actions to be taken when critical limits are not met, ensuring staff are equipped to maintain water safety standards.
