Legionella Monitoring & Controlling
If you’re a business owner, it’s up to you to control the risks in your workplace and become compliant with the latest health and safety legislation. You are required by law to carry out regular legionella risk assessments and note the hazards if you have more than five employees.
Legionella is a major risk for businesses whose workplace has one or more of the following:
- Evaporative condenser
- Dry/wet cooling systems (adiabatic coolers)
- Hot and cold-water systems
- Spas
- Pools
- Water temperature between 20 and 40°C
- Aerosols
- Water storage
- Re-circulation of water
- Rust
- Sludge
- Scale
- Organic Matter
- Biofilms
- Other non-specific risk systems
What is Legionella
Legionella is a type of bacteria commonly found in natural water sources. However, it can also grow and multiply in human-made building water systems such as showerheads and sink faucets, hot water tanks and heaters, water-cooled air conditioning systems and baths that aren’t drained after use.
When this happens, it can become a health concern and cause illnesses like legionnaires’ disease which is a fatal form of pneumonia and pontiac fever.
The disease is contracted from simply breathing in small droplets of water in the air that contain the bacteria.
