Professional Legionella Risk Assessments Across Ireland

Legionella bacteria thrive in water systems operating between 20°C and 45°C. Without proper risk assessment and control measures, building water systems can harbour dangerous bacterial growth that causes Legionnaires’ disease – a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. Our engineers are trained in L8 protocols and equipped to conduct comprehensive assessments that identify risks and establish effective control programmes.

We understand that every building operates differently. Our approach begins with a detailed survey of your entire water system, examining water storage tanks, pipework, outlets, cooling towers and any equipment that stores or circulates water.

Our legionella risk assessment service addresses statutory compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and HSE Approved Code of Practice L8. We don’t just tick boxes – our engineers conduct genuine risk evaluation that produces practical, achievable control measures.

  • Comprehensive System Survey: Detailed inspection of all water storage, distribution and circulation systems
  • Temperature Monitoring: Assessment of water temperatures throughout the system, identifying risk zones
  • Bacterial Sampling: Laboratory testing of water samples, where appropriate, to confirm system safety
  • Control Strategy: Written scheme of work detailing monitoring, maintenance and record-keeping requirements

Why Legionella Compliance Matters for Your Business

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations places legal duties on building owners and managers to assess and control legionella risks. Failure to comply can result in prosecution, substantial fines and even imprisonment following serious incidents. Our risk assessment service ensures you meet these legal obligations.

Insurance companies expect evidence of proper legionella management. Without documented risk assessments and control measures, you may face difficulties with claims and potentially invalidated cover. Our service provides the certification insurers require.

Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks generate significant publicity and reputational damage. Hotels, hospitals and care facilities face particular scrutiny when water safety incidents occur. Regular professional risk assessment protects both your occupants and your business reputation.

Most premises require reassessment every two years, though significant building alterations or system changes necessitate immediate review.
