Legionella Risk Assessments

The law is clear that if you are a landlord and rent out your property (or even a room within your own home) then you have legal responsibilities to ensure the health and safety of your tenant by keeping the property safe and free from health hazards.

The risks from hot and cold water systems in most residential settings are generally considered to be low owing to regular water usage and turnover.

A simple assessment may show there are no real risks and these are being properly managed so no further action is needed. It is important to review the assessment in case anything changes in the system.

Implementing simple, proportionate and appropriate control measures will ensure the risk remains low. For most domestic hot and cold water systems, temperature is the most reliable way of ensuring the risk of exposure to legionella bacteria is minimised.
