SANS 241; Facilities Regulations, 2004; ASHRAE Guideline 12; OHS Act 85 of 1993.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need both a water risk assessment and Legionella sampling?
The water risk assessment evaluates the overall system design and maintenance practices. Legionella sampling provides actual laboratory confirmation. Ideally both are done — the risk assessment first to identify sampling priorities, then sampling to confirm.
