Legionella risk assessment

Ensuring safety
and compliance.


Legionella risk assessment is vital to protect the health and safety of people in your building. If you do not undertake appropriate assessments or preventative measures, you will be legally liable for any harm, injury, or even death, in the event of a Legionella outbreak. 

To avoid the risk you can contact Glacier Environmental Ltd to organise your risk assessment now.


Do I need a Legionella risk assessment?

It is the legal duty of the building operator to undertake or appoint competent individuals to undertake a Legionella risk assessment. This is the first step towards a water treatment and hygiene programme. Through identifying the risks and implementing a control and monitoring programme you can satisfy the Health & Safety Executives ACoP L8 guidance and Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 amongst others.

What is the Legionella risk assessment procedure?

A qualified Legionella risk assessor will arrive at your building and carry out a non-intrusive survey of the water systems. They will pay particular attention to more susceptible assets in the building. All risks are identified, documented and evaluated against a standardised set of criteria.

A full report is created providing you a clear and concise summary of the findings. This is shared electronically or in hard copy. All reports include a set of recommendations that can form part of an ongoing improvement scheme.

I was initially unsure about the importance of legionella control services for our building. However, after enlisting the help of Glacier Environmental, I’m truly grateful for their help and expertise. Their team guided me through the process with patience and clarity, explaining the potential risks and providing effective solutions that matched my level of understanding. Thanks to their professional approach, I now have peace of mind knowing that we’re proactively safeguarded against legionella and are working within the guidelines.

We have used Glacier Environmental for our water temperature and legionella testing on a monthly basis since 2016 and are very satisfied with the service they provide.   All of the engineers I have dealt with are both friendly and helpful and have the knowledge and experience to carry out our testing with ease thus giving us the reassurance that we need.
