As a Landlord, What Must I Do?
As a landlord, you are responsible and have a legal obligation to have a Legionella risk assessment carried out on properties under your control. Integrated Compliance can carry out landlord Legionella risk assessment on properties across the UK.
A Legionella risk assessment is an in depth survey of the potential risks presented by engineered water systems, and seeks to identify and assess the risks of exposure to Legionella bacteria associated with work activities and water systems. The assessment will determine the likelihood of the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria within the water system.
