Legionella Risk Assessment

Posted by Marc Colclough on 27.06.2023

The higher temperatures and water conditions that pools create mean an effective water management strategy should be implemented to safeguard against legionella bacteria and other harmful microbes.

It is important to carry out a full, in-depth legionella risk assessment, in compliance with HSG274 Parts 2-3 Legionella Risk Assessment.

We provide L8 Legionella Compliance Risk Assessment survey for your domestic or commercial process systems onsite.

We include a written scheme of control/schematics covered within our consultancy service. A full pipe trace and review of current schematics will be carried out, with the intention of upgrading them to an industry-standard professionally drafted top-down schematic CAD design. Following our site visit and associated follow up work, we will provide you with a full bespoke review of the documents remotely via Teams to answer any questions you may have before we send you the final risk assessment and CAD schematic.

Treating the water in your spa pool will ensure that harmful Legionella bacteria and other microbes are eradicated, leaving bathers free to enjoy a refreshing dip. Legionella testing should be carried out on a quarterly basis and monthly water sampling to test for ACC, coliforms, E coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Once you have analysed your system and begun treating the water, it’s important to have a plan for future inspections and treatments. For organisations, it is a legal requirement to define who is responsible for water treatment and to keep records of regular inspections, all of which can be included in a water management strategy detailing the layout of the system and any work that has been carried out.
