Legionella bacteria is a waterborne pathogen known to develop in water systems that have been left unmaintained. Carrying out a Legionella risk assessment is essential in identifying this potential fatal bacteria, as well as proving important in offering key prevention strategies to reduce the risk of Legionella forming in your water system.
Below, we outline the important benefits of carrying out a Legionella risk assessment and offer helpful advice on how Guardian Gas Ltd can assist in this matter.
Compliance
Certain businesses and industries may require Legionella risk assessments as a matter of compliance, in order to adhere to strict government regulations. This is common in businesses that operate heavy machinery such as cooling towers. Guardian Gas Ltd will carry out a comprehensive risk assessment to ensure your business is in compliance with current regulations and is therefore able to fulfil the necessary requirements to meet annual and biannual reviews.
Not only this, but we also provide further advice and guidance on how we can further improve Legionella compliance at your place of business, reviewing current strategies, practices and technologies to assess where they may be room for improvement.
Peace Of Mind
As suggested, coming into contact with Legionella bacteria can prove incredibly dangerous, with many people experiencing symptoms from the mild to the severe. In fact, Legionella is known to lead to a potentially fatal form of illness known as Legionnaires disease, which can cause severe pneumonia and issues breathing.
Carrying out a Legionella risk assessment can help identify this bacteria within your building’s water supply system helping to ensure that no water vapour or droplets have infiltrated your mains.
