This responsibility is primarily outlined in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, with Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8 and HSG274 providing further guidance. A Legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement to identify and mitigate potential hazards.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the UK, through their Approved Code of Practice L8 (ACoP L8), emphasizes the importance of proper training for individuals responsible for Legionella control. While not explicitly mandated, the ACoP L8 states that those implementing control measures should be "suitably informed, instructed, and trained". This means that while there isn't a specific legal document stating you must have training, it's practically necessary to demonstrate competence and compliance with safety regulations.
Legionella training is a crucial aspect of responsible water system management. It ensures individuals can competently perform their duties, comply with regulations, and prevent the spread of Legionnaires' disease.
