Stay compliant with ACoP L8 and HSG274 standards.


LCS helps you manage water safety confidently and cost-effectively.

Your Legionella Risk Assessments Safeguard Your Building from Legionella Risks

You're frustrated by compliance requirements and potential health risks

You deserve freedom from worries about water safety and compliance

What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?

A Legionella Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Health & Safety at Work Act, COSHH Regulations, and HSE ACoP L8.


It identifies areas in your water systems where Legionella bacteria could grow and ensures that your control measures protect staff, residents, and visitors.


At LCS, we assess your entire water network — from mains supplies and calorifiers to outlets, showers, and thermostatic mixing valves — to make sure your building stays safe and fully compliant.

What’s Included in Our Legionella Risk Assessment

Every assessment from LCS follows a structured process based on HSG274 Part 2 and HTM 04-01 standards:

1. Site Survey & System Mapping – We inspect and record all water systems and outlets.

2. Compliance Review – We check your current management records and procedures.

3. Risk Evaluation – Each system is rated Low, Medium or High based on temperature, stagnation, and vulnerability.

4. Written Control Scheme – Clear, actionable measures for ongoing Legionella management.

5. Remedial Recommendations – Prioritised actions with realistic timescales.

6. Schematics & Evidence – Diagrams and photos help visualise key plant areas.

You receive a professional report and control plan aligned with all current HSE and LCA guidance.
