Vector Collaboration with CIEH & IOSH

We are extremely proud to be working closely with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and IOSH. We have developed webinars for health and safety professionals surrounding legionella within low occupancy and mothballed buildings.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic escalated in March within the UK, many buildings have been left dormant or with lower occupancy whilst we work from home. This has provided an ideal opportunity for legionella bacteria to proliferate within stagnant water systems.

Simply reopening a building that has stood idle, without addressing the safety of its water system, is unacceptable and is likely to be in breach of the law.

If dutyholders are not able to put in place a proper recommissioning process to use the water system safely, they should not reopen the building.

Vector has developed these free webinars to help building operators and duty holders to minimise the risk to their building users. Please also visit our ‘Resources’ page for free downloads to help you comply with your legal obligations at minimal cost.
