How We Carry Out Our Legionella Risk Assessments
So what is a Legionella risk assessment?
Itâs a technical review of current administrative records and findings from previous assessments as well as a physical inspection of your water management systems.

- Map out your water systems, identifying risks and weaknesses and any points with potential for aerosol release
- Complete water temperature checks with approved UKAS calibrated thermometer test kits
- Consult with everyone involved in health and safety on your premises
- Verify your current management procedures
- Verify your paperwork
- Assess the risk level of people who live or work in the building, with a focus on age and health considerations
What Happens If You Donât Get A Legionella Risk Assessment?
Not only do you risk a large fine if a Legionella risk assessment has not been carried out properly, but you also risk the health and safety of workers and occupants of your premises. Exposure to Legionella bacteria via aerosol release can lead to the development of serious lung infections. The most serious of these is Legionnairesâ disease, a form of pneumonia that can lead to death in some cases.
Under the right conditions, Legionella bacteria growth can proliferate in any water system. Itâs most common in the following:
- Showers and taps
- Spa facilities and swimming pools
- Water tanks
- Air conditioning units
- Healthcare properties
- Dental apparatus
- Food manufacturing sites
- Washing facilities
- Industrial facilities
