Legionella Risk Assessment

HSG274 Part 2 Risk Assessment At Your Premises​ in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset

Legionella, the bacteria accountable for Legionnaires' disease, thrives in water systems found in various environments including workplaces, hospitals, schools, and public facilities. Left unaddressed, it presents a significant risk to human health, potentially resulting in severe respiratory illness and even fatalities.

In the UK, legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 impose a legal obligation on employers and landlords to ensure the health and safety of employees, residents, and visitors. This encompasses the management of Legionella risks.

A thorough Legionella risk assessment is not merely a regulatory stipulation; it's a pivotal measure in mitigating the threat posed by this silent hazard. By pinpointing potential sources of contamination, evaluating the level of risk, and implementing effective control measures, businesses and property owners can safeguard the well-being of those who inhabit or visit their premises.
