Managing Contractors
A well-established failing in many legionella outbreaks is the failure to properly manage contractors. Since it is very common for contractors to be involved at some stage of the legionella control regime, it is appropriate to point to extensive guidance from the HSE on how to manage contractors. This guidance includes useful checklists that you can use to evaluate your current arrangements in place.
