Your responsibility Social Housing accommodation have water supplies which have the potential to breed the deadly legionella bacteria in water storage tanks, dead legs etc. As a provider of residential accommodation you have a legal responsibility to control the risk of legionnaires' disease, for the HSE guidance document "Essential information for providers of residential accommodation (INDG376)" please click here. Many Social Housing properties, particularly low and high rise accommodation have communal extraction systems from bathrooms and kitchens. Over time a deposit cocktail of paper tissue fibers from tearing toilet paper and lint from bath towels, along with human skin flakes, talcum powder etc... will form. Failure to remove these deposits periodically will considerably restrict the flow of air and such deposits are also flammable having the potential to spread fire from one residence to another via the communal duct. It is therefore important that these systems are cleaned regularly to ensure efficient extraction minimising the risk of toxic mould from forming in poorly ventilated properties and reducing the risk of fire spread.
