Unions say civil servants’ health endangered as legionella and insect infestations also reported
Trade unions have called for a safer working environment for civil servants after it emerged that legionella, insect infestations and more than 100 sewage leaks were discovered in government buildings in the past year.
In the HMRC office in Liverpool, legionella was reportedly discovered in the water, the Times reported. Last week, 39 people were removed from the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset after traces of legionella bacteria were found in the onboard water system. “Legionella is a dangerous disease, especially for those who are disabled or vulnerable, and any decent employer would do all they can to keep their workforce safe.”
