LEGIONELLA TESTING

In areas where Legionella exposure can potentially endanger staff or members of the public, especially at-risk groups, it is the responsibility of the person in control of that premises, under Health and Safety law, to ensure the risks are assessed and a management strategy is implemented. Testing is in the form of microbiological analysis for the total number of bacteria present, acting as a measure microbial control and Legionella specific testing. This will enumerate the number and identify the type of any Legionella bacteria present and help to assess the risk to your staff and patients.

THE L8 GUIDELINES
