Legionella Prevention & Control
As a business operating in the UK, it is vitally important for you to be aware of your responsibilities for legionella prevention and control for your water systems. Legionella can pose serious risks to your employees, customers and members of the public, with symptoms ranging from mild flu-like illness to more severe life-threatening complications such as legionnaires’ disease. By taking steps to ensure that effective legionella control measures are in place, you can help limit potential exposure risks and have peace of mind that you are observing all relevant legal requirements. Taking simple steps such as regularly testing water temperature and periodically cleaning out tanks or pipes can help you remain compliant and prevent legionella from becoming a problem in your workplace.
What is legionella?
Legionella is a type of bacteria present in the environment, but specifically in water sources. It can cause a serious and sometimes fatal illness called legionellosis. This disease is typically contracted when people inhale legionella-contaminated airborne mists, such as those produced by hot tubs, cooling towers, and air conditioning systems. To protect yourself and others from this potentially hazardous pathogen, it is important to practice legionella control techniques. These techniques help reduce the presence of legionella in water sources and make them safer for people to be exposed to.
