What Are My Legionella Control Obligations?
A building owner has a legal responsibility to protect occupants from Legionella infections, which can easily be transmitted via atomised water droplets.
Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) law places a legal duty of responsibility, whilst Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8 gives clear guidance on the steps required to control Legionella risk.
1
ASSESS THE RISK.
A complete Legionella risk assessment will uncover the specific risks at the property and set out a maintenance and inspection plan to follow.
2
IMPLEMENT.
Fully implementing the findings of your risk assessment in regular maintenance inspections, checks, and sampling will ensure the best protection from Legionella outbreaks.
3
REMEDIATE.
Should condition or sampling indicate a level of risk of infection a Legionella sampling, cleaning, and remediation program should be implemented to protect users.

A word from our CEO
"Legionella management - compliance based on facts"
"The only way to understand the risk levels accurately is to regularly inspect and monitor the conditions. Having the full suite of solutions including the routine descaling and temperature checks and sampling when required ensures the property is never on the wrong side of compliance and Legionella bacteria isn't provided the opportunity to multiply.
The actual number of cases of Legionella infection is unknown but with over 200 reported cases each year and fines of up to £800,000 if you are not following ACOP L8 how are you demonstrating compliance?" - Titus W. (CEO)
