Why Legionella Risk Assessments Matter

Legionella bacteria are commonly found in water systems, especially when water hygiene isn’t properly maintained. When these bacteria multiply and spread through contaminated water droplets, they can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious lung infection that can be fatal in some cases.

The bacteria thrive in hot and cold water systems, dead legs, and evaporative cooling towers, particularly where water temperature and flow aren’t regularly monitored. A legionella risk assessment helps identify these weak points before they become a problem.

Your Legal Duties as a Duty Holder

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and HSE’s Approved Code of Practice, anyone in control of premises — including employers, landlords, and property managers — has a legal duty to assess and control legionella risks.

The responsible person or duty holder must ensure that a sufficient risk assessment is carried out by a competent person. This includes identifying areas where bacteria in water systems might grow and ensuring proper precautionary measures are in place.

Failing to comply can lead to enforcement by the Health and Safety Executive, legal action, and, in extreme cases, prosecution.

What’s Involved in a Legionella Risk Assessment

Our legionella risk assessment process is designed to be thorough, practical, and easy to understand. It includes:

  1. Inspection of Water Systems – We check all hot and cold water systems, storage tanks, pipework, and cooling towers for signs of stagnation or poor maintenance.
  2. Sampling and Testing – We take water samples and send them for legionella testing to confirm water quality and identify any bacteria in water systems.
  3. Risk Identification – Our assessors identify areas where legionella growth is most likely, including dead legs, low-flow areas, and temperature imbalances.
  4. Comprehensive Report – You’ll receive a full risk assessment report (available in PDF format) detailing findings, control measures, and maintenance guidance.

Our goal is to give you a clear, actionable plan for legionella control, not just a checklist.
