What Does Our Risk Assessment Process Involve?
Our water risk assessments are designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your entire water system, including all assets utilising water such as cooling towers, tanks, and chlorifiers, determine the existing condition, as well as identify any potential issues such as bacterial growth.
Once completed, your risk assessment will also determine steps for keeping your system safe and compliant with legislation such as HSG274 and ACOP L8 and which industrial water treatment services may be required.
1. Identify all assets and map the different parts of your water system, looking for potential hazards
2. Produce a detailed schematic drawing
3. Produce a responsibility structure with defined roles for upholding the health and compliance of your water system
4. Devise a written plan to reduce and manage risks in the long term
5. Advise on, and provide access to, onsite or external training required for carrying out the allocated tasks
6. Risk assessments are regularly reviewed based on risk and after any significant changes to the water systems.
Who Is Legally Required To Carry Out A Water Risk Assessment?
All industrial and commercial water systems require risk assessments. Even if you believe that your system is low risk, it will still need to be assessed by a competent person. The importance of risk assessments for legionella control and general health and safety cannot be understated, let alone the potential legal ramifications of failing to comply with HSE guidelines.
When Should a Water Risk Assessment be Reviewed?
Water risk assessments should be reviewed based on risk level:
- High risk - healthcare premises or sites with vulnerable people
- Medium risk - normal commercial premises
- Low risk - premises with minimal water facilities, such as a small shop
However, it’s also necessary to review water risk assessments after any significant changes to your water system, as these can render the previous assessment void.
How Often Should a Risk Assessment Be Carried Out
The frequency for a water risk assessment depends directly on the level of risk identified for the site. For high risk systems, annual assessments are recommended. Medium risk premises should have an assessment every two to three years. For low risk systems, a review every five years is generally appropriate.
What to Consider with a Water Risk Assessment
Conducting a water risk assessment is crucial for businesses, commercial and industrial, to manage water systems effectively. Whether it's an initial risk assessment for a newly constructed facility or as part of an ongoing maintenance programme.
Understanding your goals ensures a more effective outcome with the assistance of water care specialists and helps keep you compliant.

Our team of expert assessors will provide you with a copy of your assessment and logbook, which will highlight risk areas and include remedial actions to ensure compliance, along with ongoing system management.

We also offer a range of industrial water treatment services to assist with ongoing maintenance:

Our Testimonials
We are a company specialising in water audits and leak detection and we are often asked about Legionella and Risk Assessments by our client. Having met and assessed WaterCare Solutions we were happy to put them forward to a client managing a large industrial estate, who was unaware as to their level of non-compliance in respect of the A.C.O.P L8 (Rev4) & HSG274 Part 2.
Following a risk assessment of the unoccupied units and a very successful training session, the client is now compliant and understands their responsibilities. We have furthered our relationship with the client and are pleased to recommend WaterCare Solutions whenever we get an enquiry.
As a buyer I need to be confident that when I place an order with a service provider it delivers both value for money and great service. Having used Mark for 30 years now, and never been let down, it was an easy decision to support him at WaterCare Solutions. They continue to deliver, providing peace of mind that our water systems are in great hands.
Mark and now WaterCare Solutions have looked after our water tube boilers for most of their 34 years life and despite them having a predicted 25-year lifespan they are still going strong. A fitting testimony to the great water treatment they have received over the years.
With our pre-treatment plant and ultra-pure turbine water injection system also in safe hands you need look no further for a complete chemical and service package for your plant.
Highly recommend.
Switching water treatment companies was not a decision we made lightly, however, I am pleased to say Mark and the team at WaterCare Solutions exceeded our expectations. Not only was the transition seamless but we now realise we should have made the move much sooner. We finally have the confidence that our water systems are fully compliant. Don’t be afraid to change and don’t put up with second rate, there are quality companies out there and WaterCare Solutions are one of them.
Looking forward to a long successful partnership.
We were looking for a new equipment package for our cooling tower, but after having look at several manufacturers online we were confused as to what to go with. WaterCare Solutions discussed the pros and cons of several different options and costs with us and feel we now have the best fit for our process. A great install and commissioning too; unit is working well and we could not be more pleased.
