What is Legionnaires' Disease and Legionella Bacteria

​

Legionellosis is a collective term for diseases caused by legionella bacteria including the most serious Legionnaires' disease, as well as the similar but less serious conditions of Pontiac fever and Lochgoilhead fever. Legionnaires' disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia and everyone is susceptible to infection. The risk increases with age but some people are at higher risk including:

​

​

​

  • people over 45 years of age

  • smokers and heavy drinkers

  • people suffering from chronic respiratory or kidney disease

  • diabetes, lung and heart disease

  • anyone with an impaired immune system

​

​

 

The bacterium Legionella pneumophila and related bacteria are common in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs, but usually in low numbers. They may also be found in purpose-built water systems such as cooling towers, evaporative condensers, hot and cold water systems and spa pools.

If conditions are favourable, the bacteria may grow increasing the risks of Legionnaires' disease and it is therefore important to control the risks by introducing appropriate measures outlined in Legionnaires' disease - The Control of Legionella bacteria in water systems (L8).

What We Can Help With​

​

We can provide advice on how to comply and what you need to do so that your water system is safe and compliant. Water Testing and Analysis can provide information on any potential contamination issues within your water system. Testing for Legionella, E.coli, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, TVC and other types of bacteria is possible through our UKAS accredited laboratory.

​

Have you looked at whether you have a cold water storage tank connected to your water system? Over time, water tanks can become dirty and require cleaning and disinfecting. Our Water Hygiene programmes can help with the thorough cleaning of the system and help make sure that the system is clean and free from bacteria.

​

Our Water Risk Assessments that are completed inline with the HSG274 technical guidance document which is also approved by the Health & Safety Executive. The assessments will cover all types of systems and give you a report that is easy to read and understand as well as allowing you to understand any potential risks and how to reduce or remove those risks of Legionellosis, Legionella pneumophila.

Legionella Risk Assessment, Legionella Testing & Legionella Training.
We are Legionella testing and legionella risk assessment experts with over 10 years experience within the industry. We pride ourselves on giving an excellent service that allows our clients to understand their Health and Safety (HSE) obligations. When we complete legionella risk assessment for a business or organisation, we help you understand the entire process from the beginning. A legionella risk assessment is an in-depth survey of the water system within the premises. It considers all of the workings of the water system and the potential risks it poses. Legionella testing should only be completed once a legionella risk assessment has been completed. The HSG274 part 2 guidance document recommends that a water risk assessment should be completed before any legionella testing or legionella sampling is completed. 

When we undertake Legionella testing or legionella sampling, it is completed at the highest of industry standards and meets all requirements set out by the British standards and the Health and Safety Executives legislative guidance. This includes but not limited to BS 7592:2022, HSG274 part 2 and ACOP L8. Water testing and legionella analysis must always be completed using the correct size bottles and following the correct procedures. A UKAS laboratory must always be used for the analysis process to ensure it complies with the expectations of the Health and Safety Executive.

Once the assessment has been completed, it is important that the legionella risk assessment is reviewed by the responsible person and that all actions within the legionella risk assessment are completed and recorded. In some cases, legionella remedial works and required to reduce or completely remove the risks associated to legionnaires' disease and legionella bacteria.
 
Legionella training is also recommended. The HSE puts emphasis on all responsible persons to be legionella trained. This will help with interpreting the legionella risk assessment. L8 training or legionella training is an important part of becoming compliant. Our legionella training will satisfy the Health and Safety (HSE), Care Quality Commission (CQC) and OFSTED. The legionella training can be completed on-site (recommended) or online via zoom (or similar). The legionella course can take between 2-3 hours and once completed a legionella certificate will be issued.
