Risk Assessment
You are required to have a legionella risk assessment by law – but it DOESN’T have to be a lengthy or complicated process.
Water hygiene is an important factor for landlords and those responsible for properties used by the general public such as hotels, spas, gyms and restaurants. It’s important to keep on top of your risk assessments and administration when it comes to Legionella testing to protect those using your facilities and to maintain the highest health and safety standards. Water contaminated with Legionella bacteria can result in harmful outcomes such as Legionnaires Disease which can be contracted by inhaling tiny water droplets from air conditioning units, showers or cooling towers that have traces of the bacteria.
A legal requirement according to the Approved Code of Practice L8 (ACoP), it’s essential that you are compliant with the latest regulations.

Carried out by a professional company such as Primary Water Solutions, a Legionella risk assessment is the initial step to detect any traces of bacteria in your hot and cold-water system. First, we’ll identify which components need testing and then will assess any hazardous conditions such as water temperature, stagnation and pH levels that could promote the growth of the bacteria.
Following this we’ll evaluate the system against a risk assessment matrix for an in-depth look at the situation before providing documentation of our findings including risk levels, control measures and our tailored recommendations for improvement. We’re on hand to guide you through this process and can assist with regular monitoring and risk management to control any unwanted illness from contaminated water.
