Legionella Risk Assessments – Protect Your People. Stay Compliant. Gain Peace of Mind.
Any water system, under the right environmental conditions, can become a source of Legionella bacteria.
As an employer, business owner, care provider or landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure the appropriate precautions are in place to reduce the risk of exposure.
Under health and safety legislation, there is a legal obligation to carry out a Legionella Risk Assessment for all workplace and business-related premises.
The first step towards compliance is a comprehensive assessment of your building’s water systems.
This forms the foundation of an effective water safety management plan, helping you clearly identify potential risks and understand the actions required to control them.
To meet the requirements of ACoP L8 guidance, Duty Holders must ensure a suitable and sufficient risk assessment is completed, have access to competent and qualified support, and put in place appropriate control measures to eliminate or reduce risk.
Assessments should be reviewed regularly and must be carried out before any formal water safety management system is implemented. A thorough risk assessment also enables the Duty Holder to demonstrate that all relevant risk factors have been properly considered, along with the steps needed to manage them effectively.
Our specialist Water Hygiene Consultants bring over 35 years of industry experience and carry out assessments in full accordance with HSG274 Parts 2 and 3 and ACoP L8 guidance.
Unlike many providers who assess only a proportion of a building, we aim, wherever possible, to inspect every accessible room and outlet. This ensures a far more detailed and reliable assessment, with nothing important overlooked.
