Legionella Report
What is a Legionella risk assessment?
A Legionella risk assessment will generally cover all water systems in your rental property. The assessment itself will involve:
- Identifying potential hazards and the level of risk posed
- Identifying who is at risk
- Testing the water system for Legionella*
- Putting adequate control measures in place to minimise the risk
- Recording the findings of the assessment
- Reviewing the assessment as needed
Testing or sampling water for Legionella bacteria is not a legal requirement for landlords, but is typically part of a Legionella risk assessment carried out by a professional.
