Between the years of 2014 and 2016, there were 77 deaths, and over a thousand confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease.
Regular testing is essential to ensure the health and safety of staff and service users. Testing is especially required when it is not always possible to obtain an ideal temperature to keep legionnaires’ disease away. Where there has previously been a case of legionella, HSE advises conducting monthly testing and receiving satisfactory results consistently over time.
