Legionella Risk Assessment
The L8 states that a ‘suitable and sufficient assessment must be carried out to identify and assess the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria from work acitivites and water systems on the premises and any precautionary measures needed. The dutyholder is responsible for ensuring the risk assessment is carried out.’

Dead Legs are sections of pipework leading to a fitting through which water only passes infrequently. Dead ends are pipes which have been capped/cut andf are causing standing water. They can be generated through the changing or modifying of a water system. DCS can ensure the effective removal of any Dead Leg or Dead End.
