PURPOSE The intent of the Building Water Safety Management Program is to promote a safe environment for all Marriott associates and guests from exposure to waterborne pathogens including Legionellabacterium which can present a health risk if not properly managed. *It is the responsibility of the designated Engineering leader to comply with this Marriott standard and in addition, understand and comply with the local/state/country regulations where applicable. In the situation that local/state/country requirements are different than this standard, the property must create an LSOP based on thegoverning laws of the jurisdiction. All LSOPs must be reviewed by the continent engineering leader or designee. All Properties: All properties must have a Water Safety Management Program which includes the following steps: 1. HAZARD ANALYSIS: The essential first step is to assess risk, determine critical control points, identify improvement needs, and assign communication and managementresponsibilities for implementing a water safety plan. 2. MONITORING & CONTROL: Long-term maintenance and documentation of engineered water systems using full water treatment, monitoring, proper operation protocol and following maintenance best practices. 3. REMEDIATION: Remedial cleaning and disinfection is to be performed routinely as necessary for long-term preventive risk reduction, in response to systemupsets, or in cases of incidence or outbreak.

4. REVIEW: The program must be reviewed periodically (at least annually) to validate and verify the plan is being implemented and followed as specified. Adjustments to the plan should be made as necessary. ANNUALLY Property must perform the following task(s): • Schedule, complete and document waterborne pathogens training to allEngineering associates. • Review existing HACCP plan, verify implementation and adjust plan as necessary. • Complete HACCP plan items #8 and #11A below • Complete (at the end of heating season) HACCP plan item #5 SEMI-ANNUALLY Property must perform the following task(s): • Complete HACCP plan item #11B below 3 TIMES PER YEAR Property must perform the following task(s): • Complete HACCP plan item#10 below MONTHLY Property must perform the following task(s): • Complete HACCP plan item #4 below WEEKLY Property must perform the following task(s): • Complete HACCP plan item #7 below DAILY Property must perform the following task(s): • Complete HACCP plan item #9 below

DETERMINING RISK (guidance on creating a HACCP plan) Most buildings and facilities would require a Legionella HazardAnalysis and Critical Control Points, (HACCP), building water plan if any one of the following risk factors apply:       One or more centralized water heaters More than 10 stories high (including any levels below grade) One or more whirlpools or spas either within the property or located on its premises One or more water features or aerosol generating devices (e.g., ornamental fountains, directevaporative coolers, misters, air washers or humidifiers) either within or located on its premises Total residual halogen concentrations of the incoming potable water supply to the building is less than 0.5mg/L (ppm) One or more cooling towers and/or evaporative condensers that provide cooling and or refrigeration for the HVAC/R system, including any evaporative coolers used for pre-cooling or...
