Back to Basics: Legionella Management – Scotland Safety Network

This short, knowledge building ‘Back to Basics’ session has been designed to provide a basic understanding of the requirements of water hygiene legislation and determining the rationale for the different properties, categorisation, etc.

The session also takes a look what is contained in a legionella/water risk assessment and a brief overview of the meaning and rationale behind some of the common control measures mean and what organisations should be doing in response to the risks identified in the assessment.

The webinar provides an introductory overview of what we feel are some of the core elements for Scottish social landlords around legionella management to comply with regulatory requirements and, of course, the impacts on tenant & resident safety.
