Legionella bacteria is commonly found in water. Inhaling airborne water droplets containing legionella bacteria can cause potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. Quantum Compliance will help you manage legionella in hot and cold water systems and will work with you to identify and reduce the risks.

Your Quantum Compliance consultant will carry out a legionella risk assessment. Water that is used, stored, or equipment that acts as a means of transmitting water droplets will be assessed. This may include:

• Cooling tower systems
• Evaporative condensers

• Spa baths and pools
• Firefighting systems

Evaluation

The assessment will be reviewed every two years. This may be to review:

• Changes to the system or its use
