1.1 The Legionella Management Procedure for Oxford Brookes University has been developed to ensure that water systems are installed, operated and maintained in a manner that both reduces the risk of a Legionella outbreak and ensures appropriate water quality for University employees, students, contractors and visitors.
1.2 The University is committed to achieving this intent by the most reasonably practicable means possible and in a way that ensures a coordinated approach between all Faculties and Directorates within the University. The University recognises the principles within the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations regarding the need to eliminate hazards in preference to managing the risk.
