Legionella Risk Assessment
Watertite will carry out a detailed assessment of your premises working closely
with you whilst on site to ensure all systems are covered and that any control measures
in place comply with the regulations and are effective.
Our aim when carrying out a Legionella Risk Assessment is to ensure you understand
your systems and the risks posed to staff. Upon completion a review meeting will
be carried out to discuss in detail both the findings of the assessment and the
best course of action required to move forward and become a safe and legal business.
The first step in any risk management process is production of a professional risk
assessment. Legionella management is no different and as required by the HSE’s Approved
Code of Practice (ACOP L8), since the removal of the 300 litre limit, a written
down risk assessment is now required for all commercial buildings with a water supply
employing 5 or more people.
As set out in the guidance, the person on who the statutory duty falls is required
to have 'access to competent help in assessing the risks'. This
involves the engagement of an external water consultant to produce a risk assessment.
The risk should;
- Identify and evaluate all potential sources of risk
- A means by which exposure to bacteria can be prevented (where possible)
- Where prevention is not possible, a means by which the exposure can be controlled.
What does the risk assessment process involve?
A Legionella Risk Assessment involves a trained engineer visiting a premises and
making an objective assessment of the water system’s potential to be colonised by
Legionella bacteria and the various factors favorable for their continued growth.
In completion of a risk assessment all areas of the water system are inspected including
loft spaces and void areas however there is no disruption to the water supply and
this can usually be completed during usual hours.
