Legionella Risk Assessment

Legionella is a naturally occurring bacteria found in many natural water courses; rivers, lakes and resevoirs.  The bacteria only becomes a problem when it experiences the right conditions for rapid growth and this means an increase in temperature which is common within the workplace.

For examples;

  • Water systems incorporating a cooling tower.
  • Water systems incorporating an evaporative condenser.
  • Hot and cold water systems.
  • Other plant systems containing water which is likely to exceed 20°C and which may release a spray or aerosol during operation or when being maintained. This also includes showers / taps etc.

Under health and safety law, you must assess the risks from legionella bacteria that may affect your staff / residents or members of the public and take suitable precautions to reduce all risks to a minimum  this process is known  as legionella risk assessment.

As an employer or a person in control of the premises (e.g. a landlord), you must:

  • Identify and assess sources of legionella bacteria risk.
  • Prepare a scheme, (or course of action), for preventing or controlling the risk of legionella within your premises.
  • Implement and manage the legionella control scheme.
  • Appoint a person to be responsible for your legionella testing, design and management of your action or management plan.
  • Keep records and check that precautionary systems are effective, (continued legionella monitoring).
  • If appropriate, notify the local authority that you have a cooling tower(s) on site.
If you would like to discuss legionella risk assessment, legionella risk management plans or legioenlla risk training please contact us today on 01453 800100 to speak to one of our experienced safety consultants.
