Hello, Does anyone have any idea what should be included in a Legionella program / procedure? Does everyone need one or only people who have specific areas of concern in the workplace?

Thanks!

Tina,

This can be quite complex. If you obtain a copy of L8 'The control of legionella in water systems' from HSE. Have a look through that to see if you may have a problem.

Typically you would be looking at air conditioning plant, recirculating hot water systems, water systems with dead ends on the pipework, showers that may only be used infrequently.

Hope this is of use

David
