Since 2000, the number of reported cases of Legionnaires' disease (LD) has been escalating. LD is a potentially fatal lung infection caused by the aquatic bacterium Legionella pneumophila. With water temperatures between 77°F and 108°F being favorable for growth, the bacteria have an affinity for cooling towers, hot water tanks, and other parts of HVAC and domestic water systems. Thus, they have become the bane of the facility manager’s existence. This two-part seminar addresses the legal risks and responsibilities, the minimum standard of care, advanced water treatment protocols, and "triple bottom line" impact considerations associated with preventing the deadly disease.
