Creating a water safety plan

In 2004, the has World health organization (WHO) the development and implementation of water safety plans (Water Safety Plan) for drinking water systems is recommended. A water safety plan is a dynamic process that allows a systematic assessment of a drinking water system and the Management of relevant risks supported. We are your partners in the creation and implementation of water safety plans for water systems. The existence and implementation of a water safety plan is a proven preventive measures to avoid water-associated contamination and infections.

If the „technical measure value“ of 100 CFU/100 ml is reached in at least one drinking water sample, the operator must immediately conduct a Legionella risk assessment or have it conducted.
