Legionella Prevention made simple

Any type of company can be affected by Legionnaires’ disease – which is a waterborne form of pneumonia with a threateningly high mortality rate. Good maintenance of water systems and proactive caution are vital preventative methods to reduce the risk of Legionella contamination.

The Legionella bacteria is found in water and can contaminate various areas and appliances in your building, including water tanks, air conditioners, plumbing systems, cooling towers, spray systems, hot tubs, hoses and more. At Direct365, we’ll defend your business against an outbreak by providing a thorough Risk Assessment and offering guidance to keep you safe and compliant.

Legionella causes deaths and destroys businesses, so call 0808 163 9660 now for a free, no obligation quote.

Your legal obligations

The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) states that a business of five or more employees must have a Legionella Risk Assessment on water systems - the suggestion is to do this every two years, or sooner if there are changes to the building. If you can’t show proof of preventative methods in the event of an outbreak, then you’ll be held legally responsible. Remember: in health and safety law, you have to prove yourself innocent, or else you can be assumed to be at fault.

There is plenty of legislative guidance that can be used to penalise business negligence, inlcuding HSG274, which is a document that has been used in all successful prosecutions of businesses for poor water management.

Any type of company can be affected, so we provide our Legionella Risk Assessment to businesses of all sizes, in all industries. Avoid the dangers of this disease and follow the health and safety requirements by choosing Direct365 to conduct a full check of your building.
