Public Works and Government Services Canada MD15161: Control of Legionella in Mechanical Systems

Legionnaire’s disease is again a topic of great interest to IAQ practitioners as the incidence of this disease worldwide is on the rise. Public Works and Government Services Canada has issued a guidance document , MD 15161, on the design, operation and maintenance of building water systems in order to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria. This presentation will focus on the inspection of building water systems, the evaluation of their associated risks and the creation of a Legionella bacteria control management plan (LBCMP) for any given building.
