Employers, the self-employed and people in control of premises, such as LANDLORDS, have a duty to identify and control risks associated with legionella.

If your building has been closed or had reduced occupancy during the coronavirus outbreak, water system stagnation can occur due to lack of use, increasing the risks of legionnaires’ disease.  

Our website has detailed guidance on managing legionella risks during the outbreak and how to protect people when the water system is reinstated or returned to use.
