Understanding the Purpose of a Legionella Risk Assessment A Legionella risk assessment is a structured review of the water systems within a building to identify conditions that could support the growth of Legionella bacteria . These bacteria thrive in water that is warm, stagnant or contaminated with scale or biofilm. When droplets from contaminated water become airborne, they can be inhaled and potentially lead to Legionnaires disease. For anyone responsible for a building,

Little used outlets are one of the most common sources of water quality problems in commercial buildings. When water sits still inside pipework, it rapidly loses disinfectant residual, drops in temperature and begins to stagnate. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria, including organisms such as Legionella pneumophila , to multiply. It also encourages scale, biofilm and sediment build-up, which can eventually compromise both water safety and system performance. For any f

BS 7592:2022 is aimed at commercial water systems - hot and cold-water distribution loops, tanks, calorifiers, cooling towers, spa pools and others where water can be stored, recirculated or aerosolised. It sets out how to take water, sediment or biofilm samples as part of your microbiological monitoring and how such sampling links into your overall water-safety strategy. Why your sampling plan must have a clear rationale One of the key principles of BS 7592:2022 is that Legi

This month marks an exciting moment for everyone at Titan Water as we officially welcome our newest team member , Lloyd Hopkins. This is a significant step forward for us and one that reflects the direction we are moving in as a business. Lloyd has joined Titan Water to lead our new Water Hygiene Division . This is an area of the company that we have been planning carefully for some time, and finding the right person to take it forward was essential. With more than twenty ye

Legionella is a group of water-borne bacteria that thrive in warm, stagnant water systems and can cause a serious lung infection known as Legionnaires’ disease when inhaled as fine droplets. These bacteria occur naturally in lakes and rivers but become hazardous when they multiply in man-made systems where water is stored, circulated, or sprayed into the air. If you’re a facilities manager, you’ll recognise that any building with stored or recirculated water can present a ri
