Why Legionella Risk Assessments Are Essential

Legionella is a bacteria that thrives in water systems such as hot and cold-water tanks, cooling towers, and showers. If not managed properly, it can lead to Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia that can be life-threatening.

​

Under UK law, business owners, landlords, and duty holders are legally responsible for managing this risk.

A Legionella risk assessment is the first step to:

• Identify potential hazards in your water systems.

• Ensure compliance with HSE ACOP L8 and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.

• Protect employees, customers, and the public from exposure to Legionella bacteria.

FAQs About Water Testing & Legionella

What is water testing?

Water testing involves collecting water samples and testing them for harmful bacteria and other substances.
It ensures that your water supply is safe, compliant, and suitable for use.

We commonly test for:

• Legionella – Bacteria responsible for Legionnaires’ disease.

• Pseudomonas – Bacteria that can cause corrosion in pipework and pose health risks.

• Scale, Contaminants & Corrosion – Indicators of water system health.

• TVC (Total Viable Count) – Measures overall water quality.

How often should water testing be carried out?

The frequency depends on the risk level of your premises, which is determined by your Legionella risk assessment.

• High-risk sites (e.g., hospitals, care homes): Testing may be required monthly or even daily.

• Medium-risk sites: Quarterly or six-monthly testing.

• Low-risk sites: Annually or as specified by your assessment.

Regular water testing is vital to prove your water safety programme is effective and compliant.

What is Legionella?

Legionella bacteria can be found in both natural and artificial water systems. When inhaled through aerosols (tiny water droplets), it can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal lung infection.
