What is your obligation?
As an employer or someone who is in control of a premises, including landlords, it is your responsibility to take the correct precautions to reduce the risk of exposure to Legionella to others. It is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the employer or person who controls the premises must appoint someone competent to help you meet your health & safety obligations & responsibilities.
Risks
If appropriate measures are not put into place, then this can result to an exposed risk of litigation & potential prosecution as well as a major health & safety hazard to others. This could then result in a detrimental effect to your company’s reputation and financial standing.
Should there be an outbreak in your area the HSE inspector will require evidence of a water hygiene control log book with up to date results which are in line with the current guidelines.
