Assessing legionella risk

Legionella risk assessments are nothing new: the need to complete these risk assessments has been around for decades. However, the standard and quality of these risk assessments can vary greatly!

This session will cover the need for legionella risk assessments, and the requirements for compliance with the British Standards Institute’s code of practice, BS8580 Water quality – risk assessments for legionella control.

Our speaker, Peter Tyson, is the Commercial Director at Ware Hygiene Centre. Pete has extensive experience with water systems and water-borne pathogens. With 20 years in the water treatment/hygiene industry, Pete has worked in various capacities for some major water hygiene companies. He was involved in the legionella outbreak in 2002 at Barrow, Cumbria, and has managed contracts at nuclear power stations.

This event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
