Identify and control Legionella risk within your water systems
Legionella risk in building water systems can lead to serious health consequences, operational disruption, and regulatory exposure if not properly assessed and managed. Hotels and other hospitality properties often have complex water systems that require a structured, risk-based approach.
Our Legionella Risk Assessment helps identify risk areas within your water systems and provides practical guidance to support safer operation, effective control measures, and ongoing monitoring.
What we do
We review the design, condition, and use of your water systems to identify areas where Legionella risk may arise. This includes assessing water storage, distribution, outlets, temperature control, stagnation risks, maintenance practices, monitoring routines, and the overall suitability of existing control measures.
Where needed, we also highlight gaps in management arrangements, documentation, and system oversight, helping you understand where improvement is required.
Why it matters
Without a structured assessment, water systems may contain hidden risks that remain unmanaged until they lead to incidents, non-conformities, or reactive corrective action. In hospitality environments, where water is used across guest rooms, public areas, kitchens, spas, pools, and staff facilities, these risks can be more complex and widespread.
A clear understanding of your system and its risk profile is essential to support safe operation and proportionate control.
Who it is for
This service is designed for hotels, resorts, spas, clinics, residential or mixed-use properties, and other operations responsible for managing complex water systems and reducing Legionella risk.
The value to your operation
You gain a clearer understanding of your water system risks, along with practical recommendations to improve control, monitoring, maintenance, and management oversight. This helps reduce the likelihood of waterborne incidents, supports compliance with legal and brand expectations, and provides a stronger basis for ongoing water safety management.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In many jurisdictions, a Legionella risk assessment is either a legal requirement or a strongly expected part of responsible water system management. Requirements vary by country, so the assessment should also take local regulations into account.
This depends on local requirements and the level of risk, but it is commonly reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes to the water system, building use, occupancy pattern, or control arrangements.
Yes. The assessment is designed to provide practical, risk-based recommendations on control measures, monitoring, maintenance, and management actions.
The assessment may consider hot and cold water systems, storage tanks, calorifiers, pipework conditions, outlets, low-use areas, guest rooms, staff areas, spas, pools, and other relevant water-related facilities depending on the site.
A Legionella Risk Assessment is a focused consultancy service that examines the specific risks within your building water systems and provides site-specific recommendations for control and management. AquaCheck is a broader audit module that assesses compliance against defined water safety standards and operational criteria. In simple terms, the risk assessment is more diagnostic and advisory, whereas AquaCheck is a structured audit and certification tool.
