Legionnaires’ Disease is an uncommon but serious form of pneumonia and, although rare, all users of cooling equipment should take the necessary steps to prevent the risk of outbreaks, thus safeguarding the health of their employees and the general public.
It is vital that cooling towers are sited so that discharge air does not enter open windows or intakes to ventilation equipment. Regular maintenance must be carried out and users should contact F&R Products or a health and safety officer for advice. If it is discovered that you have not taken reasonable precautions to ensure that your equipment does not prevent a health risk you may be prosecuted.
