Legionella: what are the real risks?

Reputational risks, criminal penalties, significant management effort, and sudden inspections: did you know you can forget about these issues for good?

In the world of Hospitality, *Legionella* represents a systemic and often overlooked threat. This bacterium, present in water systems, can cause severe lung infections in your guests, putting at risk not only their health but also the reputation of your establishment. If not properly addressed, it can lead to serious consequences for the facility and its management.

How much are you willing to risk the image of your establishment?

Guests expect their health and safety to be a top priority. Failing to ensure this can lead to negative word-of-mouth and online reviews, with lasting and devastating effects, making it difficult to recover your reputation and trust once compromised.

You must also consider the risk of ending up on the tour operators’ “blacklist”: this would mean an immediate loss of customers and business opportunities. Just two cases of legionellosis in two years, as stipulated by ELDSNet (the European surveillance system), can lead to your exclusion from packages offered by major tour operators, drastically reducing your bookings.

Did you know that management risks facing criminal consequences?

If there is a case of legionellosis traceable to your establishment, the management could face two serious legal consequences:

Criminal Liability: The law stipulates that executives and those responsible for the facility can be criminally prosecuted. This can lead to significant fines and, in extreme cases, even imprisonment.
Loss of License: In extreme cases, authorities may decide to suspend or revoke the facility’s operating license until adequate corrective measures are taken.

Addressing a case of legionellosis is not only a matter of public health but also legal responsibility. It is essential to adopt effective preventive measures to protect your establishment from these severe consequences.

How difficult is it to manage a problem you don't fully understand?

Especially for such delicate issues as managing the risk of Legionella, knowing how to intervene with the right expertise is essential:

Knowing whom to trust: Unqualified consultants can provide incorrect diagnoses and suggest ineffective interventions, worsening the situation.
Identifying critical points: Analyzing water systems requires in-depth and specific knowledge to provide a definitive solution.
Finding long-term solutions: Often, common solutions are temporary or partial, failing to eliminate the problem in the long run. This leads to the need for repeated interventions, increasing costs, anxiety, and the time spent on management.
