Legionella risk assessment health facts
Most healthy people exposed to Legionella don’t fall ill. Some of us are at more risk, for example those aged over 50, current or ex-smokers, those with a chronic lung disease like emphysema and people with compromised immune systems, for example through illness or after a transplant or chemotherapy. Underlying diseases like cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, and liver failure also put people at extra risk. As an employee that potentially welcomes visitors, suppliers and customers on site, you need to keep everyone safe.
