STOP SEWER SICKNESS BEFORE IT STARTS
For years, the wastewater industry has grappled with the serious risks posed by wastewater and raw sewage. These environments are often teeming with harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites, creating significant health hazards for wastewater crews.
Facility managers and safety professionals recognize that continual exposure to these pathogens can lead to what is commonly referred to as “sewer sickness” — a serious concern in the field. Industry leaders, including organizations such as the Water Environment Federation and OSHA, have long acknowledged these dangers, emphasizing the need for strict safety protocols to protect wastewater crews.
