A UK survey found legionella bacteria contamination in 75% of business and 50% of hotels. This is why it is absolutely vital to ensure your water is as safe and clean as possible. Legionella thrives in stagnant water and can grow and multiply in almost every component of your water system. According to Legionnaires’ Disease Technical Guidance HSG274 provided by Health & Safety Executive (HSE), cold water storage tanks need annual inspections, which allows you to know what, if any, action needs to be taking. The experts at DTL Group can offer cleaning, disinfection, repair or even replacement services, if necessary.

​

The growth of Legionella bacteria can lead to Legionnaire’s disease, a form of atypical pneumonia. If your system contains organic matter that supports the growth of bacteria, the bacteria can and will grow quickly at a rapid rate of multiplication. Buildings that have badly maintained, or with more complex water systems, are more susceptible to this risk.

We can provide your property with experts with the experience to offer water hygiene risk assessment services that are right for your business. If you have what is a deemed a susceptible system and you don’t complete legionnaire risk assessment, you could be committing an offence and are at risk of fines, civil action and even prosecution.
