A recent BBC report revealed high levels of Legionella bacteria detected in Aston Ward at Lister Hospital, Stevenage, prompting its temporary closure. This incident highlights the critical importance of proactive water safety management. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of Legionella Risk Assessments.
Legionella Risk Assessments
Legionella bacteria thrive in stagnant water and temperatures between 25-45°C. Common environments at risk include:
- Care homes, hospitals, and healthcare facilities
- Hotels, leisure centres, and schools
- Commercial properties
Without regular testing and management, Legionella can cause severe respiratory illnesses like Legionnaires’ disease.
