Legionella Risk Assessment Services Norfolk and Suffolk

If you're looking for legionella assessment services in your area, take a look at AquaB. This established company works with landlords and letting agents throughout the whole of the UK to provide a full range of specialist services. They undertake risk assessments along with other practical measures in order to assist with the control of legionella bacteria in your property. Carrying out a legionella risk assessment is mandatory and failure to do so could land you in hot water with the HSE especially if there is a related incident and it be found to have not been `properly' assessed. 

AquaB is on hand to help you comply with your legal obligations.

The full extent of legislative requirements and guidance in relation to all legionella control is set out in the following documents:

 

·       The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

·       The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations

·       The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations and amendments

·       HSE ACoP L8 Legionnaires’ disease - The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems

·       HSE HSG 274 Parts 1 to 2 inclusive – The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Hot and Cold Water systems

Protecting your Tenants

As a landlord or letting agent in control of a private rented property, you must take steps to protect your tenants against the risk of contracting Legionnaires' Disease. This form of pneumonia can be fatal if left untreated and therefore it's vital that you carry out risk assessments to ensure water systems are controlling the bacteria effectively. To discuss your responsibilities with one of the experienced team at AquaB, call 0800 035 8385. For further information about the company and its services, visit the website today.
