Legionella Risk Assessments

A legionella risk assessment is a crucial step in identifying and assessing potential risks associated with Legionella bacteria in your water systems. Our qualified consultants conduct thorough inspections, examining all aspects of your water systems, including hot and cold-water systems, cooling towers, spas, and water features. The risk assessment process involves:

1. Site Visit and Inspection: Our consultants will visit your premises to visually inspect the water systems, take measurements, and gather relevant information about the layout, design, and usage patterns.

2. Identification of Potential Hazards: We identify potential sources of Legionella bacteria, such as stagnant water, poor water quality, or inadequate maintenance procedures. We assess the likelihood of bacteria growth and transmission based on factors such as temperature, water flow, and equipment condition.

3. Risk Evaluation: Our consultants evaluate the level of risk associated with each identified hazard. This includes considering the vulnerability of individuals who may come into contact with the water systems.

4. Recommendations and Control Measures: Based on the risk evaluation, we provide detailed recommendations for control measures to mitigate or eliminate the identified risks. These measures may include water temperature monitoring, cleaning and disinfection protocols, equipment maintenance, and staff training requirements.

5. Legionella Management Plan: We assist you in developing a comprehensive Legionella Management Plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan outlines the control measures, responsibilities, and monitoring procedures required to maintain a safe and compliant water system.
