Legionella Risk Assessments
What is an Legionella risk assesment and why do you need one?
Landlords of residential accommodation have responsibilities to combat Legionella Disease especially to those in the vulnerable age group. Health and safety legislation states that a landlord has a duty of care to their tenants to prevent and control the risk of Legionella disease in their property.
A risk assessment will outline any potential harms/threats that may cause the outbreak of Legionella disease and will also provide you with control measures that you may need to minimise any risk to their property.
