Let us take a quick look at what Legionella is and how it is formed.
What is Legionella?
Legionella is found in water systems. This includes water tanks, pipework systems, whirlpool baths and showerheads. Legionella is often found in domestic properties. Legionella itself is a pathogenic bacterium and if inhaled, has the potential to cause severe pneumonia like illnesses. Once the person has developed symptoms, they would then have contracted Legionella Disease.
Legionella is inhaled by humans when the bacteria in the water systems becomes airborne such as being projected in a spray type manner. Typically, in water spray, mist, or vapour.
How does a Legionella Risk Assessment work?
3nergy send out highly trained risk assessors to visit your property upon request. For smaller properties, the risk assessment could take around 30 minutes to one hour. For larger properties, it may take a little longer. Typically, commercial properties take the longest, as their water systems are larger.
We offer our customers a wide range of services that encompass a Legionella Risk Assessment. Once we have assessed the Legionella risk, we provide our customers with the necessary steps to prevent the disease and ensure compliance with ACoP L8.
Due to our extensive experience with performing such risk assessments on domestic and commercial properties, we can assure our clients full ACoP compliance at the end.
Once the risk assessment has been completed by the assessor, you will receive a fully compliant Legionella Risk Assessment certificate for record keeping, compliance and traceability. This will demonstrate your compliance with ACoP and keep your property in line with HSE guidelines and recommendations.
As landlords, you are legally obligated to have periodic Legionella Risk Assessments carried out on your residential lettings. Should landlords fail to get Legionella Risk Assessments conducted, they may face non-compliance fines or even imprisonment.
