Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by Legionella Bacteria in a water system. The Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8) requires all “responsible people” to be competent. Water within cooling towers is heated, which is an ideal environment for Legionella bacteria to grow.
