To identify the risks from Legionella, an assessment should be conducted, which can be taken out by an experienced EEUK consultant. A competent person onsite is responsible for making sure the Legionella risk assessment is carried out.
The types of places where Legionella bacteria is likely to multiply include:
- Cooling systems with cooling towers, evaporative condensers, or dry/wet cooling systems
- Air conditioning systems
- Hot and cold water systems such as showers and taps
- Spa pools and hot tubs
- Other plant and systems containing water that create and increase the risk from Legionella during operation or when being maintained
The most common places people will catch the Legionella from include hotels, hospitals or offices where the bacteria have got into the water supply. It is vital you make sure a Legionella risk assessment is carried out to prevent your employees or other people from contracting illnesses, such as Legionnaires’ disease.

We have had a long relationship with EEUK due to the quality of the reports that I receive after a visit from EEUK consultants. There is always a very easy to digest summary, but still lots of detail. Another reason is their friendly approach – we have built up a personal relationship, which means that managing the work is made so much easier.
