Maintaining Safe Recreational Waters
It’s that time of year to for your community to learn about the health hazards common to recreational waters and how to manage them.
NEPHTC offers a self-paced course that reviews the four health hazards common to recreational waters: biological, chemical, physical, and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). Information is provided on water sampling and testing, visual monitoring, reporting, and recreational water management (i.e., beach closure, signage). This training is intended for the environmental public health workforce, state and municipal employees responsible for management of recreational waters, as well as anyone interested in understanding how recreational waters are monitored and managed from a public health perspective.
