Thorough Legionella Risk Assessment Services in Compliance with HSG274 and ACOP L8

Key Guidelines for Legionella Risk Assessment:

1. Duty Holder Responsibilities

As outlined in HSG274 and ACOP L8, duty holders, typically the owners or managers of premises, have legal obligations to manage and control the risk of Legionella within their water systems. They are responsible for appointing competent individuals, such as our qualified assessors, to conduct Legionella risk assessments. Duty holders must ensure appropriate measures are in place to prevent or control the growth of Legionella bacteria.

2. System Evaluation and Hazard Identification

Our Legionella risk assessments involve a systematic evaluation of your water systems, including hot and cold water systems, cooling towers, and other non-domestic water systems. We identify potential hazards that may contribute to the growth and spread of Legionella bacteria. This includes examining design, maintenance, and operational practices that can impact water quality.

3. Detailed Reports and Mitigation Strategies

Following the assessment, we provide detailed reports that highlight any identified risks, along with practical recommendations for mitigation. Our team of assessors, trained in accordance with HSG274 and ACOP L8, work closely with you to develop a tailored risk management plan. This includes implementing control measures, establishing monitoring protocols, and providing guidance on maintenance and record-keeping.
