L8 Monitoring
HSE ACoP L8, “Legionnaires’ disease, the control of legionella bacteria in water systems” requires that a written scheme for controlling the risk from legionella is prepared. The written scheme should be implemented and properly managed so that all water systems are routinely checked for temperature, water demand and inspected for cleanliness and use.
