Waterline safety has been a hot topic especially the last few years and one of the leading speakers on the subject, Amanda Hill joined us for this episode to give us the low down. We also had on Mike Rust who works for one of the leading companies for waterline safety, ProEdge and so you will get to know him a bit more and hear his passion about keeping people safe. We talk about pathogens, we talk about real life instances where legal action has been brought, we talk about all the crazy places Amanda has tested water from airports and airplanes to hotel fountains and more.
