Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
The HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 and HSG274 set out how duty holders must assess and control Legionella risk. Hot water should be stored at 60°C and distributed at 50°C or above, with cold water below 20°C. In Northern Ireland, fire safety in workplaces is governed by the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, with health and safety enforced by HSENI rather than HSE.
