🚨🚰 Are you at risk???  Understanding Legionella 🚰🚨 Did you know that Legionella bacteria can lurk in the water systems of buildings, posing a risk to public health? Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia, can be contracted by inhaling water droplets contaminated with Legionella. This risk is greatest for anyone with existing respiratory illness. Here are some key points to remember:  🔹    Legionella thrives in stagnant water, especially in warm environments which can encourage the growth of Bio film. It is important to flush through seldom used pipework to combat this. Regular maintenance and proper water treatment are essential for preventing legionella growth. 🔹    Cooling towers, hot tubs, decorative fountains, and even plumbing systems can harbour Legionella. 🔹    50 degrees Celsius is the recommended target temperature for hot water for optimum   legionella control. 🔹    Create a log to record any work carried out on your water system, for example, chemical treatment, boiler servicing and bacteria monitoring. Protect yourself and others by staying informed and taking necessary precautions. Spread awareness to ensure a safer environment for all! 💧 If you have any concerns about Legionella, please reach out to our Facilities Maintenance Team who cover all aspects of L8 Compliance and can assist you.
