What is Legionella Bacteria?
Legionella bacteria is a type of bacteria found in water sources both natural and artificial. In premises where water systems are contaminated with the bacteria, exposure to this can happen through the spread of breathable water droplets. Exposure to Legionella bacteria in this way can lead to the development of Legionnairesâ disease, a severe form of pneumonia which can be fatal.
A Legionella Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act in 1974 and is essential for the health and safety of all workers and occupants of your premises.
