Who needs a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Essentially any building with a water system where water droplets (aerosols) may be inhaled.
Such as schools, offices, care homes, sports facilities and rental properties with shared water systems.
What is Legionella?
Legionella bacteria can develop in poorly managed water systems and can cause Legionnaires' disease, a potentially serious form of pneumonia.
These bacteria thrive in stagnant water, at temperatures between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius. Such conditions are common in stored hot and cold water systems, cooling towers and tanks, showers, and irregularly used outlets.
People become infected by inhaling aerosols (small water droplets) containing Legionella bacteria.
Under UK health and safety law, organisations must identify and control the risk of Legionella bacteria within their water systems.
The principal guidance includes the HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 (ACOP L8), HSG274 Part 2, and other relevant industry standards.
These regulations require duty holders to:
-
Identify Legionella risks.
-
Carry out a Legionella Risk Assessment.
-
Implement a suitable control scheme.
-
Maintain monitoring and compliance records.
Red Box's Legionella services are delivered in accordance with these requirements.
Our City & Guilds-accredited training and industry-recognised certifications ensure our assessments and recommendations align with current UK legislation and best practice.
