Legionella Risk Assessment Services

In the UK, employers, landlords, and premises controllers must legally conduct Legionella risk assessments under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH Regulations 2002. 

A Legionnaires risk assessment inspects and evaluates water systems to identify and manage the risk of Legionella bacteria growth and contamination, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia, where individuals inhale contaminated water droplets from sources like showers, taps, or cooling towers. 

At Nexus Hygiene we conduct thorough Legionnaire Risk Assessments for businesses across Northern England to ensure the safety of building occupants and maintain compliance with health and safety regulations.

The risk assessment entails a comprehensive analysis of a building’s water systems to identify potential sources of Legionella bacteria. This evaluation considers factors such as water temperature, stagnation, and the presence of biofilms or scale, which can facilitate bacterial growth. The goal is to determine the probability of Legionella proliferation and to implement control measures aimed at minimising the risk of exposure.
