How Your Risk Assessment Will Work
Your Legionella risk assessment will consist of a physical tour of your site and the entirety of your hot and cold water systems as well as administrative checks.
- Administrative Checks
Your dedicated technician will conduct a full review of your current records, whether you have carried out a Legionella risk assessment before, and consult with all health and safety executives.
- Tour of Your Water Systems
The physical inspection will consist of water temperature checks with advanced technology, pat tests, and inspection of any places with potential for aerosol release.
- Detailed Report
When all of the results of our inspection are collated, we send them to you in a detailed report. Our management regulatory compliance system can gather, keep, analyse and communicate Health, Safety and Environmental compliance records on demand.

- Employers
- Those in control of premises
You must take precautions against outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease with regular Legionella risk assessments.
What Water Systems Are at Risk of Legionella Growth?
Legionella bacteria can grow in any artificial water system, with the most high-risk systems including:
- Spa pools
- Air conditioning units
- Water tanks
- Hot tubs
- Swimming pools
- Dental apparatus
- Showers
- Healthcare Properties
- Vehicle cleaning machines
- Food manufacturing sites
- Washing facilities
- Industrial facilities like manufacturing sites
Can Anyone Carry Out a Legionella Risk Assessment?
A landlord, employer, or person in control of premises must appoint a Responsible Person to take responsibility for managing risks. While you are not legally required to have training, not identifying risks properly and taking the proper precautions may mean you receive a large fine and endanger the safety of occupants.
This is why the best solution is to employ professional risk assessors who can get the job done right. At Guardian Hygiene Services, all of our technicians are highly trained and fully accredited. We can give you the most thorough assessment of your water systems and help you safeguard them against dangerous bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if your systems are non-compliant?
If your systems are found to be non-compliant with HSE and ACOP L8 guidelines, we will inform you and suggest appropriate action. This may include any of the below:
- Descaling and disinfecting your water tanks and/or evaporative condensers
- Replacing faulty thermostatic mixing valves
- Having our team or risk assessor train you on how to control the risk of Legionella to ensure compliance
It’s essential that you contact Guardian Hygiene Services if your property displays or has indicated it is non-compliant with HSE regulations to ensure the health and safety of both yourself and your staff is not further jeopardised. Failure to comply puts occupants at risk of contracting Legionnaires’ disease (a form of pneumonia) which can be fatal.
