Control the risks from exposure to legionella Understand what your duties are and how to comply with health and safety law.   Any water system, with the right environmental conditions, could be a source for legionella bacteria growth.   If you're an employer, or someone in control of premises (such as a landlord), you have a duty to understand and manage legionella risks. Find out what you need to do.   Our leaflet Legionnaire's disease: A brief guide for duty holders is free to download and provides further information on the health risks associated with legionella and the water systems where it may be found. Ensure your event runs safely this summer Good planning and organisation is essential to putting on an event that is both safe and enjoyable.   Get started with our guidance for organisers on how to plan, manage and monitor your event to make sure that workers and the visiting public are not exposed to health and safety risks.   Depending on the size of your event, you may need to take extra steps in order to manage crowds safely.    Whether you're an organiser, venue owner or volunteer, find out more about your responsibilities.
