      LEAF
    • Description:
      The Legionella Environmental Assessment Form Marking Guide (Marking Guide) is supplemental to the Legionella Environmental Assessment Form (LEAF). The LEAF Marking Guide walks the user through the LEAF by providing instructions and additional considerations for the questions. Additional considerations for questions provide further context and discuss relevant risk factors for Legionella growth and spread that users may find helpful. Using the LEAF Marking Guide will improve users’ understanding of a facility’s water systems and aerosolizing devices and assist facility management with minimizing the risk of Legionnaires’ disease. The LEAF and accompanying Marking Guide can be used along with epidemiologic information to determine whether to conduct Legionella environmental sampling and to inform a sampling plan. In addition, findings from the environmental assessment can be used to develop a water management program (WMP) by identifying areas at risk for Legionella growth or spread. The assessment should be performed on-site by an epidemiologist or an environmental health specialist with knowledge of the ecology of Legionella, building water systems, and water treatment. Public health professionals familiar with CDC resources such as the LEAF Marking Guide, Legionella Control Toolkit, and PreventLD have the appropriate knowledge to perform the environmental assessment and complete the LEAF.
