Legionella Risk Assessments in Wakefield – Absolute Water Compliance

Professional Legionella Risk Assessments in Wakefield

If you’re a business owner, landlord, care provider, or facilities manager in Wakefield, you have a legal duty to assess and control the risk of Legionella bacteria in your water systems.

At Absolute Water Compliance, we deliver fully compliant Legionella risk assessments across Wakefield and West Yorkshire, helping you protect your staff, tenants, and visitors while meeting all HSE requirements.

Our qualified assessors carry out detailed site inspections in accordance with HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 and BS8580:2019 standards — ensuring your premises stay safe and legally compliant.

Why a Legionella Risk Assessment Matters

Legionella bacteria can grow in any man-made water system — especially where water stagnates, temperatures range between 20–45°C, or maintenance is lacking.

Inhaling contaminated water droplets (from taps, showers, or cooling systems) can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious and potentially fatal pneumonia-like illness.

A professional Legionella risk assessment identifies these hazards and establishes effective control measures to prevent an outbreak and ensure compliance.

Under UK law (HSE L8 and ACOP), duty holders must complete and maintain a Legionella risk assessment for their premises.

This includes:

Landlords and letting agents (including single rental properties)
Commercial buildings – offices, factories, and retail units
Care homes and assisted living facilities
Hospitals, dental practices, and healthcare settings
Schools, colleges, and nurseries
Hotels, leisure centres, and hospitality venues
