What is a Legionella Risk Assessment?

A Legionella Risk Assessment is a detailed inspection of your water systems to identify conditions where Legionella bacteria could grow and spread.

This includes:

  • Tanks and calorifiers
  • Pipework and outlets
  • Showers and infrequently used outlets

The assessment evaluates:

  • Water temperatures
  • System design and condition
  • Usage patterns
  • Existing control measures

Who Needs a Legionella Risk Assessment?

You are legally required to have a Legionella Risk Assessment if you are:

  • A facilities or property manager
  • Responsible for public buildings

Typical sectors we support:

  • Healthcare (GPs, care homes)
  • Education (schools, universities)
  • Commercial offices
  • Hospitality & leisure
  • Industrial sites
