Legionella Awareness (LAC-01)
All building managers or owners have a duty of care to the people within a building, to ensure there are no risks of contracting Legionnaires disease. UK safety regulators, including the Health & Safety and Care Quality Commission, expect people responsible for health and safety management in the workplace to be properly trained to a level that allows them to perform their duties safely and effectively.
