When things go wrong...
Legionnaires’ disease was first associated with a ship as far back as 1977. Most incidents on board have been linked to vessels’ water systems and air-conditioning systems. However, in most cases the infection source and/or mode of transmission were hard to establish. Since crew and passengers disembark at different locations or stay in a hotel before or after the voyage, it is rather difficult to pinpoint the vessel as the actual source.
Onboard conditions stimulate Legionella growth
Vessels are vulnerable for contaminations due to a number of common onboard conditions. During this online Legionella cours you’ll learn how to identify critical components and potential hazards:
• Water temperature between 25 and 45 °C
• Stagnation (dead ends, un-used tap points, etc)
• Corrosion and nutrients such as iron or zinc
• Long and complex piping networks
So, how do you handle an outbreak or indeed prevent one? Learn about these practical steps to reduce the Legionella risk on board and other topics in our online Legionella Awareness training, at a time and place of your own convenience. Get your Legionella knowledge up to date:
