What is a Legionella risk assessment?

Legionella risk assessments identify and evaluate the risk of Legionella bacteria growth and transmission in water systems. Legionella is a bacterium that can cause a serious and potentially fatal form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. Legionella bacteria thrive in water environments, especially in complex building water systems such as cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, and air conditioning systems . Regular assessments and monitoring help prevent Legionella contamination and protect the health and safety of building occupants. The findings and recommendations from these assessments help develop and maintain water management plans.

What happens during a Legionella risk assessment?

Key aspects of Legionella risk assessments include:

Site Surveys:

A thorough site survey to identify, examine and assess the condition and design of water systems.

Hazard Analysis:
