Keeping your water safe is a high priority for any business, none more so than a care home.
Care homes come with a duty of care for their residents, staff and visitors. As you’ll likely care for a broad spectrum of vulnerable patients, partaking in legionella testing in your care home is of the utmost importance.
Legionella bacteria causes the potentially life-threatening Legionnaires’ disease, a form a pneumonia that can be fatal, especially if contracted by a vulnerable person.
In order to prevent it, you’ll need to ensure that your water system is regularly monitored and maintained.
For any organisation in the healthcare industry, we highly recommend that you carry out a legionella risk assessment every two years.
