When Is Legionella Risk Assessment Needed?

Legionella risk assessments are necessary whenever new water systems are installed or existing systems are altered. For example, upgrades to heating, ventilation, or plumbing systems can introduce risks that need evaluation.

They are also vital whenever there is a change in building purpose, occupancy, or water supply. In healthcare settings and large public venues, like hotels and sports centres, these assessments are essential to safeguard vulnerable populations.

It’s crucial to conduct a risk assessment when a water system has been shut down for a prolonged period, such as during renovations or after seasonal closures, to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria.

Regular assessments, typically every two years, help maintain compliance with health regulations, including the guidance set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations. Staying up to date with these assessments not only ensures legal compliance but also protects the health and safety of all building users.

How Does Legionella Risk Assessment Company Work?

Our process for assessing legionella risks is thorough and structured to ensure the safety of your water systems. We begin with an initial consultation, where we take the time to understand your specific water systems and requirements, considering factors such as the age, layout, and usage patterns of your system.

During the system evaluation, we conduct a detailed inspection using industry-standard tools such as infrared thermometers and water quality test kits to accurately assess temperatures and identify the presence of bacteria or biofilms. We follow this with a risk assessment following guidelines set by the Health & Safety Executive’s L8 code of practice, which helps us identify potential risks and vulnerabilities, such as stagnant water or inadequate tank insulation.

After identifying risks, we develop a recommendation plan outlining tailored solutions to control and minimise them, incorporating methods such as UV disinfection or continuous chlorination, depending on the severity and type of risk. In the implementation support phase, we assist with the deployment of the plan, providing training and ongoing monitoring services to maintain compliance and safety.

This structured approach ensures effective legionella management and protection for your property, be it residential, commercial, or industrial. Contact us today to ensure your water systems meet health and safety regulations.
