Legionella bacteria have the potential to cause serious harm to people’s health if they are not carefully controlled. As a result, all premises containing a man-made water system must ensure that the system is safe to use, regularly maintained and free from harmful bacteria.
This Legionella and Legionnaires’ Disease Awareness course aims to help duty holders to understand more about their legal responsibilities, and the health risks created by Legionella bacteria, so that a risk assessment can be done and suitable control measures can be implemented.
