Legionella Risk Assessment — UK Legal Requirement
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH),
landlords and employers have a legal duty to assess and control the risk of exposure to
legionella bacteria from water systems on their property. HSE Approved Code
of Practice L8 provides the specific guidance on how to comply. The risk assessment
should be reviewed regularly — typically every 2 years, or sooner if
the water system or property usage changes. Failure to manage this risk can result in
unlimited fines and prosecution.

What is a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Legionella Risk Assessment Manchester — Everything You Need to Know
A Legionella Risk Assessment is a formal inspection of your property's hot and cold water systems, carried out by a qualified assessor, to identify and control the risk of Legionnaires' disease.
The assessment covers your hot and cold water systems, storage tanks, pipework, taps, and showers. The assessor checks for conditions that could allow legionella bacteria to grow — such as stagnant water, incorrect water temperatures, and rarely-used outlets — and carries out water temperature checks throughout the property.
Once the inspection is complete, you receive a written risk assessment report detailing the findings and any recommended control measures. A copy should be kept on file to demonstrate compliance.
