In 2013, the revised ‘Approved Code of Practice’ was released by the Health & Safety Executive. This code of practice conveys that undertaking a legionella risk assessment and carrying out any resulting controlling and preventative measures is your legal obligation.

This means that, in the event of a legionella outbreak at your commercial or let property, and you have not taken the necessary steps to identify and prevent this from happening, you would be in breach of health and safety law.

Black Sheep Legionella management systems are implemented by fully qualified engineers, who hold the Logic Certification for Legionella prevention and water treatment. This means that your Legionella risk management systems will be fully compliant in meeting your obligation under ACoP L8 and ensures you don’t compromise the safety of tenants.

All of our reports, findings and implemented systems are presented to customers in a client friendly manner, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of what we have carried out and why.

Our team have many years experience in implementing risk management systems throughout the UK, and for customers including major retail chains, leisure groups, and commercial and domestic landlords.

When it comes to health and safety, communication is key. We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our clients. That’s why we’ll work closely with you, arranging regular site visits to report and communicate our findings, keeping you assured that you’re in experienced and safe hands.

If you are unsure of your legal obligations regarding Legionella risk assessments, if your current management systems are not compliant, or you need assistance in managing highlighted Legionella related risks, we welcome enquiries and are more than happy to provide a brief and free system health check.
