CDC Releases 2018 Model Aquatic Health Code

Government agencies and the aquatics sector can use the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) to help reduce risk for outbreaks, drowning, and pool-chemical injuries at public pools and hot tubs/spas at apartment complexes, hotels, and waterparks. This third edition of the MAHC updates provisions related to disinfection and water quality, lifeguarding and bather supervision, and risk management and safety. It also covers emerging public health topics, such as Legionella contamination and use of flotation tanks, as well continuing challenges, such as noise reduction in indoor swimming pools. Watch a MAHC Network webinar recording, featuring Dr. Michael Beach from CDC, to learn more about the new edition.
