Do customers, tenants, service users, the public or employees have access to a property that you control? Can other people be affected by what you are doing? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you need to act to control & prevent Legionella bacteria. These requirements are found in the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Act (COSHH) 2002 & The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999. In support of these legal requirements the HSE have released the 4th edition of the Approved Code of Practice for the Control of Legionella Bacteria ACOP L8. The Department of Health have also released HTM 04-01 "Safe Water in Healthcare Premises".
