Legionella Control Management

Picture
​When we ask about Legionella checks in hotels, many do not know what it is or how to check for it.
 
Previously Legionella was most common in Europe in tourist areas which were known to have a low occupancy outside the peak season- For example Greece – Every year most accommodation would open at the end of April and close at the end of October. The weather was cooler and the majority of flights were chartered on a seasonal basis only. Arriving beginning of May though to the end of October.
 
So in Mid April the hoteliers would start to open they their up their hotels, apartments, restaurants, bars etc.
Rooms were aired, mattresses on balconies wherever you looked!




However,  what they were never educated to do is thoroughly cleanse all the water systems which had been stagnant for 5/ 6 months. Therefore it was not uncommon to find many guests who started to experience symptoms of legionnaires after a stay in their property. This is how the ECDC was formed in Europe. 
 

Legionella just loves warm stagnant water, it thrives in these conditions.
 
Now, is the perfect time for you to learn about Legionella and Legionnaires disease. 
With lower occupancy rooms will  be left empty and many of your water systems not functioning to full capacity. 
 
 
There is a 15 point hotel checklist created by the European Centre for Disease Prevention
and Control (ECDC). Your hotel may only have 5 or 6 points, but older hotels may have 10-15
 
If you would like a copy of this guide which also has clear instructions on how to set up your own individual legionella management plan just drop me a line with your email and I will send it to you. 
This will help you identify where the high risk points are in your property and how to set up a legionella plan for your premises if you don’t already have one in place.  
 
Yes please send me the plan today…..
