Legionella Death in South East England Nursing Home

RAH Consultancy were approached by a Solicitor for a building services contractor. They had undertaken refurbishment works on the nursing home which had involved the installation of new bathing equipment. The nursing home subsequently suffered the death of one of their patients through a respiratory illness. Our Client was not directly linked to the inquiry that resulted from this fatality but were anxious to receive the best possible advice as to their actions during the refurbishment so as to ensure they understood the latest advice and regulations with regard to the control of Legionella.
