Your questions answered
Common questions
What is Legionella and why is it dangerous?
Legionella is a type of bacteria found in water systems that can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious form of pneumonia. Managing its risk is essential for health and legal compliance.
Who needs a Legionella management plan?
Any premises with a water system, especially landlords, businesses, healthcare settings, and public buildings, are required to have a Legionella control plan in place.
What does a Legionella management policy include?
It outlines the control measures, responsibilities, routine checks, and emergency procedures to minimise Legionella risk within a water system.
What is a Legionella audit?
An audit assesses the effectiveness of your current Legionella control measures and ensures they meet legal and industry standards.
Do I need a logbook for Legionella management?
Yes. A site-specific logbook helps maintain records of monitoring tasks, inspections, and maintenance — a key requirement under HSE guidance.
Is Legionella management a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH), duty holders must control the risk of Legionella.
