Ensuring the safety of your water systems from Legionella bacteria is crucial for protecting public health and complying with UK regulations. At HBEUK, we provide comprehensive Legionella risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks associated with Legionella bacteria, helping you maintain a safe and compliant environment.
What is Legionella?
Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. The bacteria thrive in water systems, such as cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, and spa pools, especially where water temperatures range between 20°C and 45°C. Effective management and control of Legionella are vital to prevent outbreaks and protect public health.
