How does it work?

Why You Need a Legionella Risk Assessment
If you have never had a Legionella risk assessment or you cannot remember the last time you had one, it’s strongly advised you contact Guardian Hygiene Services. Your assessment is essential for guaranteeing the safety of yourself and your staff/tenants from the risk of Legionella bacteria and Legionnaires disease.
How Often Should You have a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Risk assessments should be conducted once every two years, or if you:
- Own or are responsible for a building that has recently undergone water system changes (such as new tanks)
- Are repurposing the building for new use
- Information or previous reports that suggest the presence of Legionella bacteria
- Checks that suggest your water systems are not or may become non-compliant
We strongly suggest that businesses in Leicester invest in Legionella testing at least once every two years. Not only is this important for peace of mind, but to ensure that your systems adhere to safety guidelines implemented by HSE.
More information on compliance can be found on the ACOP L8 document.
