Legionella Risk Assessment

Your business is legally under obligation to minimise and control the risk of Legionellosis.

For compliance with the Health and Safety Commission Approved Code of Practice L8 ACOP HSG 274 (Legionnaires’ Disease, The control of Legionella bacteria in water systems), companies are under a legal obligation to minimise and control the risk of legionellosis by:

Identifying and assessing the sources of risk of exposure: Simply, have a trained and competent person carry out a Legionella risk assessment at your property

Implementing and managing precautions: Fix the problems identified and control your water systems as recommended in the risk assessment

Recording all related actions: Keep a record of any works carried out on your water system by you or an appointed contractor, also keep records of the periodic controls measures in a site log book.

Appointing a person to be managerially responsible.

We can help you to assess and manage these risks and ensure that you comply with your legal requirements.
