Our articles and technical insights provide building managers, facilities directors, and healthcare estates teams with authoritative guidance on water hygiene compliance, Legionella control, and water system management. We publish in-depth guides on the legal framework governing water safety in the United Kingdom, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH Regulations 2002, ACOP L8, HSG274, and the NHS's HTM 04-01 technical memorandum. Our articles explain what a Legionella risk assessment involves, what a written scheme of control must contain, and how to demonstrate due diligence to regulatory authorities. We cover sector-specific topics including pseudomonas aeruginosa management in augmented care units, cooling tower chemical treatment programmes, closed system inhibitor monitoring, and the correct procedures for thermal and chemical disinfection of water systems. We also address practical compliance challenges such as building re-opening after extended closure, managing water systems during construction and refurbishment, and meeting the requirements of NHS England water safety group guidance. Our healthcare water hygiene content is written in consultation with infection prevention and control specialists and reflects the latest guidance from NHS England, Public Health England, and the Health and Safety Executive.
