New regulations on water hygiene. Have you applied them?

1. New legislation asks for a named manager to be responsible for water hygiene in buildings. 2. Two reports outline what is required. One, A Code of Practice, lays down a management framework. The other, a Guidance Note HS(G)/70 gives useful background information and proposes in detail what is expected. Valuable practical suggestions for existing plant are given too. 3. Every building should by now have a written risk analysis together with a description of the actions planned to minimise the risk of legionellosis (legionnaires disease or Pontiac fever). 4. Every building should by now have a written and signed log of its actions. 5. A summary of the actions required is shown at Figs 1 and 2.
