Legionella Services

During the mid 1970s in America a bacteria was discovered for the first time. It was discovered in water systems. This often fatal illness is contracted through inhalation

of water droplets which are contaminated by this bacteria. It became known as

"legionnaires' disease".

As the then Director of the HSE stated "LegionnairesΉ disease is an illness we have

managed to create for ourselves. In designing and constructing systems to control

our environment we have created conditions which can be ideal for the proliferation

of Legionella. Those systems must be properly monitored and maintained.

That is the key to controlling the disease."

Under general health and safety law there is therefore now a legal requirement

to consider the risks from legionella. The legislation applies to employers or

persons in control of buildings (e.g. landlords). These legal duties are outlined in

L8 AcoP ("Legionnaires' disease ­ The control of legionella bacteria in water systems.
