Legionella Risk Assessment

Legionella Risk Assessment

Legionella testing and risk assessments are legally required in certain situations. We can help you to stay compliant and ensure the health and safety your building’s occupants.

The Importance of Legionella Risk Assessments

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, all managers of buildings are mandated to carry out Legionella Risk Assessments (LRAs).

Legionella risk assessments are vital to ensure the safety of water systems in buildings across the UK. These assessments are crucial for identifying the potential for Legionella bacteria growth, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious respiratory infection.

By conducting these assessments regularly, property managers can implement control measures to minimise risks, ensuring water systems are safe and compliant with health regulations.

Keep your environment safe and adhere to legal standards with a thorough Legionella risk assessment carried out by our specialists
