Legionella Information

Legionnaires Disease can be a fatal form of pneumonia also it can affect anybody, but which principally affects those who are susceptible due to age, illness, susepibility, smoking etc. As they are commonly found in environmental sources they are also found in purpose built water systems such as domestic plumbing, cold water tanks, pipework, cooling towers, evaporative condensers and whirlpool spas. If conditions are favourable the bacterium may grow creating conditions in which the risk from legionnaires’ disease is increased.

It is therefore important to control the risks by introducing measures outlined in the Approved Code of Practice & guidance document Legionnaires’ disease – The Control of legionella bacteria in water systems (L8).Controlling legionella bacteria in the water systems in your premises is not necessarily difficult or costly, but there are strict legal requirements which you must adhere to.
