Legionella Risk Assessment
in Manchester

Conducting a Legionella risk assessment of your business premises in Manchester is of utmost importance. It represents a critical measure in preventing the severe Legionnaires’ disease, which can be caused by Legionella bacteria. Adhering to national standards such as Acop L8, HSG274, BS8580-1 2019, and HTM04-01 for Healthcare buildings, these assessments go beyond mere legal compliance; they are essential for safeguarding public health. Manchester’s diverse urban landscape, characterised by a mix of historical and modern infrastructure, presents unique challenges, particularly in older buildings that may be more susceptible to Legionella bacteria colonisation.

Why is Legionella Risk Assessment Essential in Manchester?

Legionella bacteria are naturally found in freshwater environments like lakes and streams. However, they pose a significant health concern when they proliferate in human-made water systems such as air conditioning units, hot tubs, and showers. Inhalation of aerosolised Legionella can lead to Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia. This highlights the critical importance of monitoring and controlling their presence in artificial water systems.

Regular Legionella risk assessments in urban areas like Manchester are crucial. Manchester’s urban environment, with its unique blend of old and modern infrastructure, can create ideal conditions for Legionella proliferation. Frequent assessments are essential to ensure these water systems remain safe and compliant, minimising the risk of disease outbreaks and safeguarding public health.

The Legionella Risk Assessment Process in Manchester

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Once you reach out to us, a representative from Acquiesce will promptly contact you to understand your specific requirements and assess the scope of the evaluation. The extent of the assessment depends on factors such as the size of your site(s) and the existing systems in place. Some structures may include various components like cold water storage tanks, water heaters, calorifiers, and more. Additionally, certain buildings may feature water elements that require assessment and regulation. In industrial sites, complex process water systems may be present, posing genuine concerns regarding bacterial growth and dissemination.

Step 2: Risk Identification

In this stage, our proficient team will carry out a thorough survey of your water systems, as well as your management protocols in regards to managing the risk of legionella. This would involve identifying risks and situations where Legionella bacteria could potentially proliferate. This monitoring water temperatures, inspecting storage tanks, water heaters, outlets, and assessing the condition of pipework.

In Manchester’s dynamic urban environment, characterised by a mix of historical and modern infrastructure, specific locations may be particularly vulnerable. Identifying these areas of risk enables us to provide guidance on best practices and preventive measures, ensuring the safety and compliance of your water systems.

Step 3: Laboratory Testing, Analysis & Reporting

If samples were requested to be taken on the risk assessment visit, these will be promptly dispatched to the lab, which holds UKAS certification. Subsequent to the on site assessment, our specialists meticulously scrutinise the data and observations obtained from the site visit.

Employing advanced tools and methodologies, we conduct an in-depth examination of water system, and identify any areas of risk that could lead to the growth of Legionella bacteria. Following this rigorous analysis, we compile an extensive report that outlines our discoveries, identifies areas of concern, and suggests recommended courses of action.

You will receive the report electronically, and there is also an option for a printed version presented in a folder for your convenience.

If samples were taken on the visit, the results will be sent to you as soon as analysis in the lab is completed, and you will receive a full samples report, and recommendations on what needs to be done, if results are not satisfactory.

Step 4: Recommendations & Control Measures

We are poised to offer exhaustive guidance that paves the way for a clear understanding and a trajectory toward compliance achievement. Our professionals are available to assist with any corrective measures proposed in the assessment, and we can also provide the full spectrum of services necessary to lower or eliminate the risk of legionella bacteria in your systems and exposure to individuals.

Should Legionella be present within your system, our adept consultants will efficiently offer recommendations on the necessary corrective actions to guarantee safety and facilitate a rapid resolution. Services include cleaning & disinfection, mechanical plumbing activities, additional sampling, and supplying training, logbooks, and equipment for your system’s monitoring, find out more about our services here.

The Importance of Compliance in Manchester

Compliance with regulations and best practices goes beyond mere checkboxes or evading legal consequences. It is the cornerstone of safety and well-being for building occupants, visitors, and the wider community. In a diverse and ever-evolving city like Manchester, compliance serves as the protective barrier against potential public health threats. Falling short can result not only in significant legal consequences but also the possibility of shutdowns or expensive remedial actions. Ensuring strict adherence to safety standards, supported by regular assessments, demonstrates a commitment to the health of individuals and fosters trust within the community.

Thanks for the excellent services provided to HR Employment Bureau Ltd in terms of water compliance services.

We have used Acquiesce Environmental Compliance Ltd to ensure that we were compliant in all aspects of our water supply. The service that we received from Callum and the team was second to none. Acquiesce had been recommended to me and I can see why. They dealt with my initial call in a very professional manner and arranged to visit our offices to conduct an initial survey.
