Why Do I Need a Legionella Risk Assessment?
According to the Health and Safety at Work Act in 1974, a Legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement in order to prevent the proliferation of Legionella bacteria in hot and cold water systems.
Only an individual with competence and suitable training can undertake the needed physical and administrative checks. These checks must be completed to the guidelines set out in ACOP L8 and HSG274.
For this reason, it is highly recommended that you hire accredited technicians with the expertise and equipment to carry out your Legionella risk assessment properly. The consequences for not doing so are very serious.
Why Is Legionella Bacteria So Dangerous?
Legionella is a type of bacteria found in both natural and purpose-built water systems. When it spreads in artificial water systems and is then released by aerosol, like tiny droplet sprays from running taps, it presents a danger to anyone nearby.
When breathed in, these harmful water droplets can lead to Legionnaires’ disease, a sometimes fatal form of pneumonia. Vulnerable people over a certain age or with underlying conditions are at particular risk.
This is why managing and controlling the risk of Legionella exposure in all hot and cold water systems is vital.
Where Can Legionella Bacteria Proliferate?
Under the right conditions, Legionella bacteria can thrive and spread dramatically. It’s a common problem in the following:
- Water tanks
- Air conditioning units
- Showers and taps
- Swimming pools and spa facilities
- Dental apparatus
- Healthcare properties
- Food manufacturing sites
- Washing facilities
- Industrial facilities
