Did you know that all businesses
must take proper measures to protect their staff, customers and the
public against the risk of Legionnaires Disease? This is controlled
by UK Health and Safety Legislation and there is a Code of Practice
and Guidance called L8, designed to help businesses meet their legal
obligations. The guidance includes:
- Identifying risk areas.
- Checking conditions will not
encourage Legionella bacteria growth.
- Maintaining records of when and
where temperature checks were taken.
- Providing schematic drawings of
your plumbing system.
- Having a
person specifically
responsible for overseeing Legionella compliance.
To find out if you currently
comply please see the water check list below.
