Manual fire risk compliance is labor-intensive and prone to errors, while automation streamlines assessments, enhances accuracy, and ensures regulatory adherence. Explore the benefits of automated systems over traditional methods for efficient fire safety management.

Legionella is a bacteria associated with water systems such as water tanks, pipework, baths and shower-heads, mainly in domestic properties. There is also the potential for legionella bacteria to become airbourne in water droplets, mist or spray and be inhaled, which can potentially cause a range of pneumonia-like illnesses.
In your capacity as a business owner or manager, it might seem perfectly understandable to you why achieving compliance with the various legislation surrounding fire safety may not exactly be at the top of your priority list.
As a landlord, it will always be in your interests – not just those of your tenant(s) – to ensure the buildings for which you are responsible pose the lowest possible fire risk. Integral to this will be ensuring your properties are thoroughly assessed for the risk of fire, with suitable measures subsequently put in place to help protect occupants.

It is crucial for employers and those otherwise in control of premises such as nursing and residential homes to be aware of the risks posed by the growth of legionella bacteria, which is especially likely to occur in man-made water systems. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons – including the age and vulnerability of the residents of care homes – this setting can pose a particular risk to the health of those using such buildings, unless measures are adopted to help control this.
While the lung infection known as Legionnaire’s disease – as can be contracted by breathing in water droplets containing the legionella bacteria – is uncommon, its consequences for sufferers’ health can be extremely serious. This is why it is vital for duty holders – such as employers – to take seriously the legal responsibility they have to help guard against legionella and its risks.
