1.1 This guide covers appropriate responses for employers, building owners and operators, facility managers, health and safety professionals, public health authorities, and others: ( 1<\/i> ) to a concern that a manmade water system may be contaminated with the bacteria known as legionellae (see 6.1); and ( 2<\/i> ) to the identification of one or more cases of Legionnaires’ disease or Pontiac fever due to inhalation of airborne legionellae (see 6.3-6.5). Comprehensive and explicit recommendations to limit legionella multiplication in water systems and to disinfect potential sources of human exposure to legionellae are beyond this guide’s scope.<\/p>\n
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
