In business,
risks need to be assessed. A Legionella Risk Assessment (LRA) is the best thing
to have in your arsenal if queries are ever raised that question the health and
safety measures in your organisation.
However, it is
worth noting that the calibre of an assessment is also key, so its worth doing
your research into a company before signing up for one.
If you’re unsure
of whether you qualify, the ACoP L8 is your Bible, so familiarise yourself with
it if you can. This offers key information on Record Keeping, Your role
as an employer and how to prevent or control the risk of Legionella.
If you do not
have a Legionella Risk Assessment in place, you could be at risk of prosecution
if an outbreak should occur. Of course, this is the worst case scenario but
better to have an assessment in the first place right?
The bottom line: If you are an employer, or are in control
of premises, you must be aware and understand the risks associated with
Legionella and must also be seen to take precautions to reduce those risks.
Do your
organisation a favour and ensure you are complying with legal requirements.
