Gillian Beckingham, the Barrow in Furness architect, has been fined

£15,000 for her role in Britain's worst ever outbreak of

Legionnaires' Disease. Barrow Council also faces £125,000 of fines

for similar charges.

Dayton, scheme director of Logic Certification, warns against

ignoring health and safety laws: " Despite escaping the more serious

charge of manslaughter, Gillian Beckingham and Barrow Council face

massive fines, due to their blatant disregard for health and safety

law. I urge all those responsible for the health and safety of

others, from individuals to organizations as a whole, to consider

whether they are putting lives at risk and take appropriate action.

As a first step, attending a Legionella risk assessment course

should be considered, an inexpensive option on the road to water

safety.

Logic Certification's Legionella Prevention and Water Treatment

course costs in the region of £200 and equips candidates with the

skills necessary to assess and prevent the threat of Legionnaires'

Disease, according to guidelines set out by the Health and Safety

Executive (HSE).

The deaths of innocent people and a £15,000 fine, or attending a

course costing approximately £200? It seems an easy choice, one that

should be taken seriously as part of appropriate measures to help

prevent such tragedy happening again. "

Logic Certification's Legionella Prevention and Water Treatment

course is run at approved centers all over the UK.
