Our policy on maintaining the health and safety of employees, tenants and members of the public and others against the risk of Legionellosis infection (Legionella) arising from plant, equipment, facilities, work or work-related activities.
We will implement the procedures in this document to ensure this responsibility is met.
We will take all reasonable, practicable steps to ensure that appropriate management systems are in place to ensure employees and tenants of the public are not put at risk from the effects of Legionella.
This policy and procedure sets out the strategy we will follow and includes the framework of the procedures for achieving and maintaining it. This framework defines the stages and describes the objectives at each stage, specifies the management, operational and specialist responsibilities, and lays down a clear management and communication structure to ensure that it is effective and that it fails safe, wherever practicable.
