All hosts are obliged to ensure that the risk of legionella exposure is assessed.

    Risk Assessment

    To assess the risks, a legionella risk assessment must be carried out by a competent person and the results should be reviewed every 12 months.

    What Are The Risks?

    • Occasions when the plumbing system is unused for periods of time, which can happen in a holiday let
    • Stored tank water
    • Mains water
    • Sections of plumbing which are no longer in use

    Records

    Once completed, the results are recorded onto a certificate. The host must keep copies of the record for two years.

    Legislation

    Legionella Legislation for Scotland, England, Wales & Northern Ireland

    UK wide law states that property owners must regularly check their water systems for any risk of Legionella. A risk assessment is the easiest way to complete this, as it can be done via a simple test.
