Record 3 1999-04-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooling and Ventilating Systems
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
  • Water Pollution
CONT

Some cleaning methods may create large amounts of spray... If this cannot be avoided and particularly if cleaning is done in confined spaces, then personnel should wear air line or self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA) unless it is not safe or practicable to do so. This is recommended as filter respiratory protective equipment has not been specifically tested for use against aerosols containing Legionella. Other ways to reduce the risk to maintenance personnel include decontamination and routine cleaning of cooling towers by chlorination of the tower water prior to any physical cleaning being undertaken.
