VANGUARD PATHOGEN DEFENSE SYSTEMS
Keep Your Sewer Crews Safe By Eliminating Up To 98% of Bacteria and Viruses!
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.
PROTECT YOUR TEAM
Adding to the challenge is the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.” Health officials have raised alarms about these formidable bacteria, which pose escalating risks in wastewater management. A recent study revealed alarming findings, with MRSA — one of the most dangerous superbugs — detected in three out of four tested wastewater treatment plants.
