ClearSafe Legionella Risk Assessments
If you’re responsible for a building, you’re legally required to assess and control the risk of Legionella. We make that process simple. Our expert-led assessments are clear, compliant, and designed to help you meet your duty with confidence.
What is a legionella risk assessment?
A Legionella risk assessment identifies where Legionella bacteria could grow in your water systems and how likely it is to harm the people in your building.
It’s a legal requirement for landlords, business owners, and anyone responsible for managing a building. We help you meet your duty with a clear, actionable assessment that takes the stress out of compliance.
At ClearSafe, our assessments are fully compliant with ACOP L8, HSG274, COSHH and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, so you’re covered, every step of the way.
What happens during in the assessment?
Our assessor will visit your site to inspect your water system in detail. This includes looking at how the system is set up, how it’s used day to day, and where any risks might exist including temperature issues, areas of stagnation or poor circulation, and outdated or unmaintained assets.
You’ll receive a written report that includes a schematic of your system, a breakdown of roles and responsibilities, and a set of clear, practical recommendations. If any remedial actions are needed, we’ll tell you exactly what they are and why.
The process is straightforward, disruption is minimal, and you’ll walk away knowing exactly where you stand.
Even low-risk systems must be reviewed and documented
If you’re responsible for a property, you have a legal duty to assess the risk of Legionella, regardless of the building’s size or complexity.
That’s where we come in, helping you meet your obligations with clear advice and no added stress.
