Prevent Outbreaks of Legionnaires’ Disease in Swindon

The Government’s Health and Safety at Work Act in 1974 stipulates that a Legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement in the UK. If you are in any way involved as a duty holder for the health and safety of premises in Swindon, you must ensure you assess and control risks of Legionella bacteria proliferation.

When tiny water droplets with high counts of Legionella bacteria are released via aerosol and breathed in, it can lead to chronic lung infections. The most severe of these is Legionnaires’ disease, a form of pneumonia that can result in death.

You must protect against the dangers posed by Legionella to ensure the health and safety of workers and occupants of your premises to avoid legal action.

Legionella Bacteria Can Grow and Spread in Any Water System

Colonies of Legionella bacteria can thrive in all purpose-built water systems when:

• Water is stagnant, as it can be in water storage tanks
• Water is stored at a consistent temperature between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius
• There is limescale, sediment, and other bacteria to provide nutrition for the Legionella
• You do not have proper Legionella control measures in place

Why You Shouldn’t Do Legionella Risk Assessments Yourself

Government guidelines, set out in documents ACOP L8 and HSG274, explain how to carry out effective Legionella risk assessments. The legislation specifies that only a competent person with adequate skill and knowledge can carry out the assessment.

You must know:

• How and where to take important water temperature readings
• Know how to recognise aerosol release
• Possess the equipment and skill needed to take samples for Legionella testing
• Know how to keep the correct administrative records

Getting any of this wrong means you risk exposing people to dangerous bacterial infections. A professional risk assessment for Legionella from trained and accredited technicians will give you the greatest peace of mind and ensure long-term security for your water systems.
