LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. In line with the code of practice issued by The Health and Safety Executive about controlling legionella bacteria in water systems, we confirm that we believe the property is safe and free from legionella bacteria at the start of the tenancy. See clause E38 about your responsibilities in relation to this.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. (i) In accordance with the Code of Practice issued by The Health and Safety Executive regarding the control of legionella bacteria in water systems, Landlords and their Managing Agents are required to ensure that the risk from exposure to legionella from all water systems in residential rental premises is controlled.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. 3.6.1 The Landlord is responsible for ensuring that the Premises are compliant with Health and Safety Executive form ACOP L8 ‘The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems’ at the start of, and throughout, the tenancy, by properly undertaking a Legionella risk assessment and, if necessary, making any required changes to the water system of the Premises. Coopers request that a copy of any written risk assessment is provided upon instruction. By signing these Terms of Business, the Landlord acknowledges responsibility for the safety of the Tenant at the Property and confirms all risks regarding Legionnaires Disease have been considered and an assessment carried out. Should you require Coopers to carry this Assessment out we can do so for £75.00 plus VAT.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. The Council has adopted a Policy on Water Hygiene and Controlling Legionnaires Disease in response to the need to aim to eliminate or ameliorate, wherever reasonable and practical, the risks of Legionnaires Disease bacteria in its buildings. This requirement stems from various pieces of legislation that places a legal obligation on the Council to ensure that water hygiene standards reach the requirements set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The Policy stipulates the need to undertake an appropriate risk assessment in every property in order to locate and identify circumstances that could breed this bacteria. The Council will be responsible for holding these risk assessments and for responding to any subsequent work to rectify/upgrade. The list of site Manager’s duties listed in Appendix A contains a further reference to Legionnaires disease management issues.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. In order to comply with the Health and Safety Executive's Code of Practice the Landlord must carry out a risk assessment at the Premises prior to letting especially if there are open water tanks, cooling systems, a hot tub, pond, or a swimming pool. A copy of any written risk assessment shall be provided upon instruction and at the latest prior to any Tenancy agreement being signed. By signing these Terms of Business the Landlord acknowledges his responsibility for the safety of the Tenant at the Premises, confirms he has considered all risks regarding Legionnaires Disease and has carried out a risk assessment. If we think a further assessment is required it will be carried out at the Landlord’s expense.

LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. All residential properties are a potential source for Legionella bacteria growth. The main areas of risk are where this can multiply and increase to dangerous levels and then spread e.g. vapours from showers and taps, or dishwasher and washing machine pipes. Conditions ripe for colonisation are where water stagnates and where there is sludge, rust and scale present. You are therefore required to have a Legionella Risk Assessment carried out and we will make the tenants aware of the potential risks.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. Legionnella bacteria likes to grow in water in warm conditions over 20°c and it can also be found in composts. It can enter your body if inhaled in the form of water droplets (aerosols). You should try to drain your hosepipe after every use to help reduce the risk of bacteria growing. You can also avoid creating aerosols formed by water spray by gently running water through your hosepipe with NO spray attachment at the end. You are also advised to store compost outside in the shade and to take care when opening the bag.
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE. 3.10.1 Amendments to the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) ‘Legionnaires’ disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems’ means that providers of residential accommodation are now responsible for ensuring that the risk from exposure to legionella in premises is properly controlled. For further information we recommend you read the HSE ‘Essential information for providers of residential accommodation’ available on the website xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/legionnaires/ legionella-landlords-responsibilities.htm – Please note that landlords not on our VIP Premium Service will have an-ongoing responsibility.
