Why Legionella Compliance Matters
Legionella bacteria can pose serious health risks if not properly managed. Ensuring your water systems are compliant not only protects the health of those who use your facilities but also safeguards your business from potential legal issues and reputational damage.
- Legionella Risk Assessments
- Regulation Compliance, Documentation
- Water Hygiene & Safety Advice
Legionaries Disease is caused by:
- Inhalation of contaminated airborne droplets is generally thought to be the most common mode of transmission.
- Ingestion of contaminated water, ice, and food is also believed to cause infection, by breathing in bacteria from the mouth and throat (referred to as aspirated).
