Why it matters
Why this matters
Legal control duty
Duty holders must assess and control legionella risk under HSWA and ACoP L8.
Outbreaks are preventable
Most legionella outbreaks trace back to controllable failures — monitoring catches them.
Logbooks tell the story
A well-kept logbook is the evidence regulators and insurers want to see.
