Legionella Risk Assessments Preston | Envirosafe Consultants Limited

Professional Legionella Risk Assessments in Preston

 

Water safety is a vital responsibility for all landlords, employers, and property managers. At Envirosafe Consultants Limited, we specialise in carrying out thorough and legally compliant Legionella Risk Assessments in Preston.

Our goal is simple: to help you protect health, stay compliant, and manage risks associated with Legionella bacteria in your water systems.

Whether you operate a commercial business, manage a healthcare facility, run a hotel, or oversee rental properties in Preston, our expert consultants provide the support you need.

 

Why Are Legionella Risk Assessments Important?

 

Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia contracted by inhaling contaminated water droplets. Common sources include showers, taps, hot and cold water systems, air conditioning units, storage tanks and cooling towers.

The law requires a Legionella Risk Assessment for all employers and landlords under:

  • The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002
  • Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8 and HSG274 guidance

Failure to carry out a compliant Legionella Risk Assessment in Preston can result in serious health risks, legal action, and reputational damage.

 

Who Needs a Legionella Risk Assessment?

 

A risk assessment is required for almost all properties with a water system. This includes:

  • Landlords managing houses, flats, and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation)
  • Hotels and guest houses with showers, spas, and hot water tanks
  • Healthcare settings such as GP surgeries, dental practices, and care homes
  • Schools, colleges, and universities with extensive water systems
  • Factories and warehouses with staff facilities
  • Offices and retail units with communal washrooms

Wherever you are based in Preston, if you are responsible for premises with a water supply, you have a duty to ensure risks from Legionella are identified and controlled.

 

Our Legionella Risk Assessment Process

 

At Envirosafe Consultants Limited, we follow a clear, structured process for every assessment:

Checking cleanliness, stagnation risks, insulation, and overall system design.

Risk Evaluation

Identifying high-risk areas and assessing the likelihood of bacterial growth and exposure.

Action Plan & Recommendations

Providing a detailed, prioritised plan with practical advice to control risks.
