What is Legionella and Why Does it Matter?
Legionella is a bacterium that can develop in water systems such as hot and cold water storage,
pipework, cooling towers, and other man-made water sources. If left unmanaged, it can spread through
water droplets and cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious and potentially fatal type of pneumonia.
UK legislation requires all employers, landlords, and property managers to carry out a Legionella Risk
Assessment to ensure compliance with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH regulations, and
the HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8).
