Legionella Bacteria
Legal Duties Surrounding Legionella

What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?

A legionella risk assessment is a full inspection of your water system, designed to identify where bacteria thrive — such as in stagnant water, dead legs, or inconsistent temperatures.

Legionella bacteria occur naturally in the environment, but when conditions are right inside man-made systems, they can multiply and spread through contaminated water droplets. Inhaling these droplets can lead to Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal lung infection that can affect anyone, though those with kidney disease, weaker immune systems, or heavy drinkers are at higher risk.

We assess the risk factors, check water temperature control, and make sure your site meets the approved code of practice for legionella compliance.

Why You Need a Legionella Risk Assessment

If you’re an employer, landlord, or property manager, you have a legal duty to identify and control legionella risks under the Health and Safety at Work Act and COSHH Regulations.

A legionella risk assessment is legally required for any property with its own water supply. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that failure to take “reasonable steps” to prevent legionella exposure could lead to enforcement action, heavy fines, or prosecution — especially if someone becomes ill.

Keeping your system properly assessed and regularly tested is key to preventing legionella outbreaks and maintaining safe systems.

Our legionella risk assessment process is clear and efficient:

  1. Site Visit – A qualified engineer carries out a thorough inspection of your water systems, identifying any potential risks.
  2. Sampling and Testing – We take water samples from across your system for accurate testing to check for legionella bacteria.
  3. Comprehensive Report – You’ll receive a detailed risk assessment report outlining findings, control measures, and any remedial action required.
