Do I need a Legionella risk assessment?
It is the legal duty of the building operator to undertake or appoint competent individuals to undertake a Legionella risk assessment. This is the first step towards a water treatment and hygiene programme. Through identifying the risks and implementing a control and monitoring programme you can satisfy the Health & Safety Executives ACoP L8 guidance and Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 amongst others.
A suitable and sufficient assessment must be carried out to identify and assess the risk of exposure to legionella bacteria from work activities and water systems on premises and any precautionary measures needed. The duty holder is responsible for ensuring the risk assessment is carried out.
ACoP L8:2013, paragraph 28.
What’s involved during a Legionella risk assessment?
A qualified Legionella risk assessor will arrive at your building and carry out a non-intrusive survey of the water systems, paying particular attention to more susceptible assets in the building. All risks are identified and evaluated against a standard set of criteria.
A full report is issued either electronically or in hard copy following completion of the survey. All reports include a set of recommendations that can form part of an ongoing improvement scheme.
