Legionella Risk Assessment
Conducting a Legionella risk assessment and ensuring it remains in date is a legal requirement in accordance with HSE guidance to identify potential risks and to keep employees, customers, and general public safe. This applies to all landlords and business owners.
A comprehensive risk assessment is the first step in Legionnaires’ Disease prevention. The objective is to identify all water systems where Legionella bacteria could potentially proliferate and assess the risk of people being exposed to contaminated aerosols from them.
ESC Global Ltd specialises in providing clear and concise Legionella risk assessments across a wide range of sectors.
As a recognised member of the Legionella Control Association, you can be assured that our service provision and record keeping is of the highest standard remaining complaint with the current legislation.
