ENSURING BUILDING SAFETY: STRATEGIES FOR MINIMISING COVID-19 RISKS IN HOT AND COLD WATER SYSTEMS

Hosted by North East Councils Legionella Focus Group (NECLFG) and supported by a number of other organisations including SMS Environmental Ltd, we took part in and helped organise a successful webinar that continues to receive excellent feedback from attendees and those that have watched the full recording.

A period of low use may have allowed water to stagnate, which provides the ideal conditions for Legionella bacteria to proliferate, and this will pose a significant health risk upon re-occupation unless managed correctly.

 

 

The panel discussed the current guidance, the application of law, the appropriate measures/plans that can be put in place and most importantly respond to questions raised from the attendees on the subject matter.
