What is a Legionella Risk Assessment (LRA)?

In the UK this type of specialist risk assessment is required by law and is specifically identified by the Health & Safety Executive in their Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) “Legionnaires’ disease. The control of legionella bacteria in water systems”. 

A Legionella Risk Assessment is an essential risk management process and comprises a detailed examination of the risks presented by man-made water systems, and seeks to identify and assess the risks associated with Legionnaires’ disease through exposure to legionella bacteria. 

The Legionella Risk Assessment needs to be completed every two years. Prices may vary depending on the size of the property and the number of bathrooms. Call our office for a quote.

We regret that this places yet another burden upon you, the Landlord, but we cannot ignore compliance issues, particularly in relation to Tenant Health and Safety matters.
