Protect your staff & customers from Legionnaires’ Disease with Legionella Testing

Nearly 7,500 US cases were reported to the CDC last year. In fact, the rate of people who get Legionnaires’ disease has risen by 550 percent since 2000, which leaves us wondering, as business owners – how can we ensure the safety of our buildings and communities? By partnering with an accredited laboratory you can avoid the following:

  • Infecting patrons with legionella bacteria
  • Expensive legionnaires disease lawsuits
  • Business closures due to infection

Outbreak comes down to two things: ignorance or negligence. Businesses either don’t know they have Legionella and don’t know they should be testing for it - or they know they should be testing for it and simply don’t. Unfortunately, this decision can be an expensive (sometimes fatal) one for businesses.

To secure a test for your building, fill out the form and a Microbac representative will be in touch.

Why invest in Legionella Testing?

Tracking Legionnaires’ disease to the contact source is easy with today’s technology. When individuals become ill, finding the culprit is a near guarantee. Currently, New York is the only state that requires businesses to test for Legionella – but experts expect this number to skyrocket over the coming years as public concern with the bacteria grows.
