Identification of your water systems
Legionella Risk Assessments & Water Safety Compliance
If you control a property or premises with a water system, you’re legally required to assess and manage the risk of Legionella – the bacteria that can cause Legionnaires’ disease.
At MOMENTUM, we carry out thorough, ACOP L8-compliant Legionella risk assessments to help you meet your legal duties and keep your people safe.
What is Legionella and Why Does it Matter?
Legionella bacteria can thrive in warm or stagnant water systems, such as taps, showers, water tanks, and cooling towers. Inhaling water droplets containing the bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease – a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.
Premises with stored or circulated water must have a legionella risk assessment in place, kept up to date, and acted upon where risks are identified.

You have a duty under:
- The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
- The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH)

This applies to:
