Do Landlords Need a Legionella Risk Assessment?

Landlords have legal responsibilities to protect their tenants from health and safety risks, including risks associated with exposure to Legionella bacteria.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that landlords of domestic rental properties have a duty to assess the risk from exposure to Legionella and take suitable precautions where necessary.

For most domestic rental properties, the risk is relatively low and a straightforward, proportionate assessment may be appropriate.

The purpose of a Legionella Risk Assessment is to identify potential sources of risk within the property's hot and cold water system and determine whether any measures are necessary to prevent or control those risks.

The Health and Safety Executive (hse.gov.uk) states that landlords can undertake the assessment themselves if they are competent and understand what is required.

What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?

A Legionella Risk Assessment is an assessment of the potential risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria from a property's water system.

It considers factors such as:

• How the property's hot and cold water systems operate
• Whether water is stored or recirculated
• Hot and cold water temperatures
• Water outlets such as showers and taps
• Possible areas of water stagnation
• The condition of water systems and equipment
• Whether there are circumstances that could increase the risk
• Any appropriate control measures that should be considered

For many ordinary domestic rental properties, the assessment may demonstrate that the risk is low and that no extensive control measures are required.

The important point is to identify and assess the risk and take proportionate action where necessary.

Case 357: Some consultants & letting agents are misinterpreting landlords responsibilities regarding legionella risks to their tenants.

Please be clear. If someone says that you need a Legionella Test Certificate this is incorrect and can be very expensive. 'Testing' for legionella is not required.
