Legionella Risk Assessment
Control Waterborne Bacteria and Demonstrate Compliance with ACOP L8 and HSG274
A Legionella Risk Assessment evaluates your water systems to identify, manage, and control the risk of Legionella bacteria in line with HSE’s ACOP L8 and HSG274 guidance. Delivered by NEBOSH-certified assessors, this service provides detailed insight into how your systems operate and how they can be safely maintained.
Assessments cover temperature checks, schematic reviews, and management procedures to ensure your control measures are both suitable and sufficient.
