If you are an employer, or someone in control of premises, including landlords, you must understand the health risks associated with legionella. The management of legionella-related hazards should be done by a competent person, or team, within your organisation or with the assistance of an external legionella/water hygiene specialist.
As part of your responsibility you should ensure that the necessary members of your organisation have been appropriately trained to carry out their duties safely to reduce the risks associated with Legionella bacteria.
