Legionella Risk Assessment for businesses

Professional Legionella Risk Assessments

Hotels have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for guests, employees and visitors. With hot and cold water systems used throughout the building, managing the risk from legionella bacteria is an important part of effective health and safety management.

At Summit Environmental, we provide professional legionella risk assessments for hotels, helping hotel owners and managers identify potential risks and put suitable control measures in place. Our assessments are designed around the way your hotel operates, from guest bedrooms and bathrooms to kitchens, staff areas and water storage facilities.

Why Hotels Need a Legionella Risk Assessment

Hotels can present particular challenges when it comes to legionella control. Water systems are often complex, with multiple outlets and areas that may experience different levels of use.

Guest rooms may remain unoccupied for periods of time, while showers, taps and other outlets can see heavy use during busy periods. These conditions can affect water temperature and create opportunities for legionella bacteria to grow if systems are not properly managed.

A legionella risk assessment helps you identify and assess where problems could occur. It also provides practical recommendations for effectively controlling the risk of Legionnaires' disease.

Our Legionella Risk Assessment Service

Our experienced assessors inspect your hotel's water systems and consider how they are used and maintained. We look at areas such as:

Hot and cold water systems - Assessing pipework, outlets and associated equipment for potential risks.
Water temperature and storage - Checking whether water is being stored and maintained in conditions that could encourage bacterial growth.
Guest and staff facilities - Considering areas such as bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and other water outlets.
Control measures - Reviewing existing procedures and recommending improvements where required.
Documentation and monitoring - Providing a clear report so responsible staff understand what action is needed.

Meeting Legionella Control Requirements

Legionella management forms part of a hotel's wider risk management responsibilities. The HSE's Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8 and associated HSG274 Part 2 technical guidance give advice on controlling legionella in hot and cold water systems.

Hotels also need to consider the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH). The aim is to ensure risks are assessed and suitable precautions are taken to protect people who may be exposed.
