Stay Compliant with Ohio’s Water Safety Regulations: Claim Your Free Emergency Preparedness Plan
Ensuring the health and safety of residents, patients, and staff in healthcare facilities, such as skilled nursing and behavioral health centers, requires proactive planning—especially when it comes to water safety. In Ohio, new state and CDC guidelines highlight the importance of emergency preparedness in reducing the risks of Legionella outbreaks and other waterborne threats.
At IWM, we’re committed to supporting facilities during this critical transition by offering a complimentary Memo of Understanding (MOU). This essential document acts as a comprehensive emergency preparedness roadmap, helping your facility remain compliant and ready to respond effectively to water safety emergencies.
Why Compliance Matters
Ohio’s water safety regulations were designed to address the growing risks of Legionella, a bacterium that thrives in water systems and can cause severe illnesses like Legionnaires’ disease. In 2021, Ohio reported 700 cases of Legionella—a stark reminder of why proactive measures are essential.
For facilities with aging plumbing systems or improperly maintained systems, these risks are even greater. Compliance with water safety regulations not only reduces the likelihood of outbreaks but also protects your residents, patients, staff, reputation, and liability.
