Legionella prevention and water safety in healthcare institutions

In healthcare institutions—such as nursing homes, hospitals, and residential care facilities—the health of residents and patients is paramount. This group is particularly vulnerable to Legionella infection. An outbreak can have serious consequences, ranging from hospitalizations to life-threatening situations.

That's why healthcare institutions are subject to strict legal requirements regarding Legionella prevention. H2O Enterprise helps you meet these requirements and ensure the safety of your residents and patients.

Legislation and regulations for healthcare institutions

Healthcare institutions are subject to the strictest requirements of the Drinking Water Decree . This means you are required to:

  • To have a risk analysis and management plan (RABP) drawn up in accordance with BRL6010 .
  • Have periodic sampling carried out (at least every six months, often more frequently).
  • Take structural control measures , such as flushing operations and check valve inspections.
  • To comply with additional guidelines from ISSO 55.1 and 55.2 .

Regulators such as the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (IL&T) maintain strict controls. Compliance is therefore essential.
