What is Legionella Bacteria?
Legionella bacteria is a type of bacterium that causes a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease.
It is a waterborne pathogen bacteria that can thrive in man-made settings, such as water storage tanks, taps, cooling towers, hot tubs, and showers.
Where there is a potential for legionella risk, there is an absolute need to manage and mitigate this risk and according to the HSE
“if you are an employer, or someone in control of premises, including landlords you need to be aware of the risks that legionella poses.”
Get in touch today to book your water risk assessment and reduce the likelihood of spreading the legionella bacteria.

LEGIONELLA RISK ASSESSMENTS

We specialise in high quality risk assessments of all water systems which identify the level of risk within your building and provide measures necessary to control the risk through our site specific control programmes.
LANDLORD RISK ASSESSMENT
Landlords in the private renting sector have a duty of care under the Health & Safety at Work Act and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations to ensure that the risk posed by legionella is formally recorded in a legionella risk assessment and measures to control any identified risk are duly carried out.
CLEANING & DISINFECTION
Regular cleaning and disinfection of water systems is essential to control water hygiene as sludge, sediment, and scale can build up in a water system and provide favourable conditions for the legionella bacteria to multiply.
Legal Responsibilities
There are legal responsibilities associated with Building operators to ensure their water systems comply with current legislation to ensure their water system does not pose a risk of legionnaires disease.
