Legionnaire’s disease is a preventable potentially fatal form of pneumonia associated with cooling towers and hot and cold water systems.

Air Tech undertake domestic water system surveys which deem if the system is low, medium or high risk for Legionella survival and proliferation and for exposure to Legionella under the current operating conditions.

There have been several high profile outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease in recent years, and most people are now aware that exposure to the legionella bacterium is dangerous and potentially fatal. How can you be certain that your company won’t be the next to hit the headlines?

Good risk management is the key. If you have wet cooling systems such as Cooling Towers, or hot and cold domestic systems where there is a chance of aerosol production such as showers, then there will always be a risk of someone contracting Legionnaires’ disease. But by implementing some simple control measures and performing regular testing, the risk can be greatly reduced.
