Why Legionella Risk Assessments Are Essential

Legionella bacteria can grow in hot and cold water systems, especially where temperatures are not properly controlled or water is allowed to stagnate. When inhaled through small, contaminated water droplets, they can cause Legionnaires’ disease — a potentially fatal form of pneumonia that poses serious risks to people with an impaired immune system or existing health conditions.

Carrying out a legionella risk assessment helps you minimise the risk of legionella exposure by identifying potential hazards and ensuring your system is operating safely.

Legal Requirements and Compliance

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8), legionella risk assessments are a legal requirement for all premises with water systems — including cold water tanks, hot water systems, spa pools, and cooling towers.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) classifies legionella bacteria as a substance hazardous to health, meaning property owners, landlords, and employers have a legal responsibility to assess and control the risk of legionella. Failing to do so can lead to enforcement action and, in extreme cases, prosecution.

Our legionella services in Bournemouth help you comply with the law and keep your occupants safe.

What Does a Legionella Risk Assessment Involve?

A legionella risk assessment includes a full review of your water systems to identify areas where bacteria could grow and spread. Our qualified engineers will:

  1. Inspect Your Systems – We assess all hot and cold water systems, storage tanks, and pipework, including any dead legs or low-flow areas.
  2. Carry Out Testing and Sampling – Using professional legionella testing services, we take water samples to detect any signs of legionella bacteria growth.
  3. Evaluate Risk – We identify high-risk areas, such as cooling towers, spa pools, or unused outlets, where contaminated water might collect.
  4. Provide a Detailed Report – You’ll receive a full risk assessment report with recommendations, control measures, and, if needed, remedial actions to ensure compliance.

All our assessments are carried out according to HSE guidance and UK health regulations, ensuring you meet every legal obligation.
