KBG Technologies Expands Expertise in Legionella Water Safety with ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 12080 Certification

Kathy Buckman Gibson and Justin Hartledge of KBG Technologies have successfully completed their ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 12080 certification and are now certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialists. This accomplishment underlines KBG’s commitment to comprehensive water safety solutions and further enables us to improve the services we offer to our customers.

KBG Technologies has provided Legionella water safety services for some time, with Krista B. Ivy already holding the ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 12080 certification. With Kathy and Justin also now certified Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialists, our team is even better positioned to help our clients comply and maintain the highest water safety standards. We are also positioned to respond quickly with expertise to situations that require remediation. 

What is ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 12080 Certification?

The ASSE/IAPMO/ANSI 12080 certification is a rigorous standard that establishes the qualifications required for specialists managing and mitigating the risks associated with Legionella bacteria in water systems. This certification certifies individuals as competent professionals — capable of designing, implementing and operating comprehensive water management programs that are in compliance with industry best practices and state regulatory standards.

Legionella bacteria that leads to Legionnaires’ disease can be found in a variety of water sources such as cooling towers, potable water sources and industrial facilities. They must be systematically controlled and prevented to limit these risks and comply with health and safety standards.
