One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it has allowed me to meet fantastic people. Today's guest I met at The Hang a few months ago, and we instantly hit it off. His name is John Sandford and even though he lives 15 miles east of Oxford, and I live outside of Atlanta, our passion for water treatment has made us lifelong friends.   He has a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for improving the standards of the industry he works in. John is going to give you some insight into how our colleagues across the pond test and treat Legionella bacteria and what their government requires of them.    To give you some background, John Sandford CMIOSH is the Director of Water Hygiene Specialists at SMS Environmental. He has four offices across the U.K., and over 140 employees, over 30 years of practical and research experience in the field of water treatment and Legionella and has expertise in the application of Health and Safety in this area.    John is on the council of the Water Management Society (WMSoc), one of the founders and Health and Safety Director at SMS Environmental, and he is a UKAS accredited Legionella Risk Assessment provider which is and a national supplier of water hygiene services to over 1000 organizations across the U.K.    As many of you know, the U.S. is one of the slowest countries to create legislation around Legionella testing and mitigation. It's only a matter of time for those changes to be written; just ask any water treater living in New York. I would encourage all my listeners to be proactive by learning what other countries are doing in the field that they work in.    Bottom line: Nation, when you are aware of what other countries are doing, you can prepare for the unknowns before your local government takes steps towards any new Legionella legislation.  Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client. -Trace     Timestamps:   Introducing business owner and water hygiene professional, John Sandford [5:50]  Water certifications in the U.K. [14:10]  Understanding Legionella mitigations and regulations in the U.S.A. vs. U.K. [21:40]  What happens in the U.K. when the government finds a breach of health and safety?

I was an expert in everything. And then 30 years down the line, I realized I don't know anything at all.”  - John Sandford  “80% of our work is Legionella related.”  - John Sandford  “It's funny, we use British thermal units in the U.S.A., but in the U.K., you use metric units.” - Trace Blackmore  “Your biggest risk in the U.K. now isn't from Legionnaires Disease, it's from risk of being prosecuted for not complying with the guidance and approved code of practice that surround Legionella.” - John Sandford   “New builds are a problem. I strongly believe you should be doing a water safety plan or water management plan before you've even broken ground.” - John Sandford  “No matter how good that company is, a good disinfection is not going to cure 18 months of mismanagement.”  - John Sandford  “My advice is if you are taking on any new builds, make sure you know what the state of play is.” - John Sandford  “Plumbing is a skill.” - John Sandford  You need to manage your systems during the construction phase.” - John Sandford  “Don't worry about it, learn about it.” - Trace Blackmore    Connecting with John Sandford of SMS Environmental Ltd.: Email: j.sandford@sms-environmental.co.uk  Phone: 07764534984 Website: www.sms-environmental.co.uk    Events:  The Hang Networking Event- @6pm Aug 12   AWT's 2021 Conference  AWWA Conference Aug 3-6 in Atlanta, GA  American Society for Healthcare Engineers - Aug 8-11 in Nashville, TN    Links Mentioned:  Audible - online books   Episode 101 Colin Frayne  Episode 102 Colin Frayne  Episode 9 Janet Stout's The L Word   Episode 150 Legionella Week 2020  Episode 151 Legionella Week 2020  Episode 152 Legionella Week 2020  Episode 153 Legionella Week 2020  The Rising Tide Mastermind  Submit a Show Idea  AWT (Association of Water Technologies)    Books Mentioned:  Anansi Boys - by Neil Gaiman  The Blade Artist - by Irvine Welsh    Articles mentioned:  JOHN SANDFORD CMIOSH, ELECTED TO WMSOC COUNCIL  The Stafford outbreak of Legionnaires' disease   The control of legionella bacteria in water systems Approved Code of Practice and guidance L8  Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007  Architect cleared of manslaughter over legionnaires' outbreak  Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974  Reading Borough Council sentenced after legionella death  Fee for intervention (FFI)  UKAS Delivering Confidence in the Provision of Legionella Risk Assessments  30-day all-cause fatality subsequent to MRSA, MSSA and Gram-negative bacteraemia and C. difficile infections, 2017/18 (see page 17)  Safe water in healthcare premises (HTM 04-01)  BBC (2012) Sink taps source of infection that killed three babies
