What is Legionella Bacteria?

How We Can Help With Legionella Management and Control

Our Legionella control services will help you to control the spread of Legionella bacteria and ensure the safety of all occupants of your commercial or residential premises. 

Showerheads, sprinkler hoses, taps, hot water cylinders, poor plumbing, and other system issues can allow Legionella bacteria to multiply rapidly.

Food sources for Legionella bacteria include sediment, scale and other bacteria.

The optimal temperature range for the growth of Legionella bacteria is 20-25 degrees celsius.

Water contaminated with Legionella bacteria released as an aerosol poses a great risk.

Analytical Tests

This includes:

  • Microbiological testing.
  • Operational checks.
  • Inspections and calibrations to be carried out and any resulting corrective actions.
  • Remedial action 

If your scheme is not effective, we include control scheme reviews and suggested modifications to make.

An Up-to-Date Schematic of Your Systems

This will include the full layout of your systems within and around the premises, identifying piping routes, storage and header tanks, calorifiers and relevant items of plant, like water softeners, filters, strainers, pumps, and all water outlets.

Incident Plans

This includes what to do if there is:

  • A major plant failure.
  • Very high levels of Legionella or repeat positive water analyses for Legionella.
  • An outbreak of Legionellosis on your site.

A Management Structure

This includes who the duty holder and responsible person(s) are and what their communication pathways should be, an allocation of their responsibilities, and training on Legionella risk management and control.

Health and Safety Information 

This includes the storage, handling, use of, and disposal of chemicals used in treatments and tests of water systems.

Details of the Risks Identified

We will detail the scope of control measures to be undertaken and explain how these will help.
