Practical domestic water-system risk assessment

Landlords have duties to assess and control risks from exposure to Legionella bacteria. In many ordinary domestic properties, the assessment may be straightforward, but it still needs to be suitable for the property and circumstances.

What the CJH service is intended to cover

The assessment may record relevant information such as:

  • property and water-system context;
  • hot and cold water arrangements;
  • stored-water observations;
  • temperatures where safely measured and within scope;
  • little-used outlets;
  • shower heads and hoses;
  • obvious conditions that may increase risk;
  • recommended control actions;
  • review information.

Overview

Clear scope and limitations

This is a domestic risk-assessment service, not laboratory testing, invasive plumbing investigation or remedial engineering.

Where the property or water system falls outside the permitted service rules, the enquiry should be referred to the office or an appropriately competent specialist.

Overview

Review and control

A risk assessment is not simply a certificate to file away. The responsible person should implement proportionate controls, review the assessment when circumstances change and maintain appropriate records.
