Water Infection Control Risk Assessment (WICRA)

Construction events can negatively impact water quality causing spikes in waterborne pathogens like Legionella. These events include excavation, water main breaks, water pressure changes, brown water events, construction materials, dormancy prior to occupancy, and ineffective disinfection during or after commissioning. Special Pathogens Laboratory added the W(ater) to ICRA to help secure patient safety and your reputation from the consequences of outbreaks. Get complete protection from construction-related risks. From minor renovations to major construction to outages, our 6-step process will ensure safer water in your building water system. Complement your ICRA with WICRA. Learn more!
