Legionella risk assessment
Discussion
OH is getting increasingly apocalyptic mails from letting agents that it is now a legal requirement to have property checked for Legionella.
Comfortingly, they all seem able to do this for anything between 120-170 quid plus VAT.
A little googling, and much downloading of the current guidelines/audit docs/code of practice from the HSE site suggests that it is something one is more than able to do oneself, given modern water systems, and what is required is a risk assessment, and notification to tenants of the need to keep shower heads clean, keep water temp at 60 or above, and a warning that if done, that tends to make the hot water, well, a bit hot.
The costs of getting people in, over a number of properties, seem a touch toppy given that.
Anyone done this themselves?
