5 October 2010

In the UK, all dental premises are now required to have a written scheme and a Legionella risk assessment for controlling any identified risks.

This is in accordance with the Health & Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice and Guidance document (also known as L8). The HSE's ACoP L8 is further supported by the Department of Health’s guidance documents:

• Health Technical Memorandum 01-05: Decontamination in Primary Care Dental Practices (HTM01-05)
• Health Technical Memorandum 04-01: The control of Legionella, hygiene, “safe” hot water, cold water and drinking water systems (HTM04-01)
