Legionella Conference 2025 to Tackle Persistent and Preventable Risks in Water Systems
Legionnaires’ disease remains a foreseeable and preventable public-health threat — yet case numbers are not falling. Nearly 50 years after the first recorded outbreak, the continuing rise in complex water systems, coupled with gaps in design, management and oversight, means Legionella risks are still too often underestimated or poorly controlled.
Organised by the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), the Chartered Society for Worker Health Protection, the Legionella Conference 2025 brings together regulators, industry leaders, engineers, duty-holders and legal experts to examine why preventable failures persist — and what must change.
With sessions from UKHSA, HSE, the Legionella Control Association, legal specialists and representatives from major organisations, the conference will explore:
- What 15 years of Legionnaires’ disease surveillance tells us — and why risks aren’t diminishing
- Lessons from recent prosecutions and legal cases
- Designing safer water systems from the outset
- The reality of liability and litigation trends
- Why organisations continue to struggle — and how to get control right, end to end
A keynote panel — Why is Legionella still a problem? — will bring together regulators, practitioners and duty-holders for a frank discussion on systemic issues and practical solutions.
With outbreaks continuing to hit the headlines and public scrutiny increasing, the conference offers a timely and essential opportunity for professionals responsible for water safety to update their knowledge, strengthen their practice and engage directly with national experts.
