Health and Safety Executive

This book is aimed at dutyholders, including employers, those in control of premises and those with health and safety responsibilities for others, to help them comply with their legal duties in relation to legionella. These include identifying and assessing sources of risk, preparing a scheme to prevent or control risk, implementing, managing and monitoring precautions, keeping records of precautions and appointing a manager to be responsible for others.

This fourth edition of the ACOP and guidance on regulations contains revisions to simplify and clarify the text. The main changes are removing Part 2, the technical guidance, which is published separately as HSG274 and giving the following issues ACOP status:

• risk assessment;

• the specific role of an appointed competent person, known as the 'responsible person';

• the control scheme;

• review of control measures;

• duties and responsibilities of those involved in the supply of water systems.
