Good evening everyone,
I'm after a favour. Has anyone got any information on what action to take in the event of a legionella out break ? I work in the chemical industry and we have 2 cooling water systems.
Regards, Tonyb

Just out of interest the HSE are conducting site risk assessment visits to companies with cooling towers at present across the UK.
