What is Legionella Management?

Legionella management involves the identification, assessment, and control of Legionella bacteria in water systems such as cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, and other environments that support bacterial growth. These bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease — a potentially serious form of pneumonia — making proper management critical for health and safety compliance.
