The aim of any Legionella Risk Assessment should be to assess and record the extent, condition, design and management of all water systems within a property. It should assess and describe the risk of bacterial contamination by Legionella species, the potential for the bacteria to multiply and the potential for this to infect people with Legionnaire's disease.
The HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8), requires a written down legionella risk assessment for all commercial buildings with a water supply and employing 5 or more people.
