What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?
A Legionella Risk Assessment is an inspection of a building’s water systems to identify conditions that could encourage the growth of Legionella bacteria. These bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious respiratory illness contracted by inhaling contaminated water droplets.
Legionella can develop in:
- Hot and cold water systems - water storage tanks, shower heads & taps
- Cooling towers and decorative fountains
- Spa pools and hydrotherapy systems
- Any system where water is stored or allowed to stagnate
A professional assessment identifies risks and provides practical recommendations to help keep occupants safe.
