Legionella checks and assessments

Water hygiene services for water hygiene and safety

WHAT IS LEGIONELLA CONTROL?

Legionella bacterium is present in all water systems and, given the right conditions, can cause potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. It causes Legionnaire’s disease if inhaled as water droplets. Because of the risk to public health, it must be controlled.

Legionella checks and water hygiene services help organisations to manage safety and compliance. Legionella checks must be carried out by someone who understands exactly what to look for and knows how to carry out a professional Legionella assessment.
