Legionella Risk Assessments in South Shields
Legionnaire’s disease can cause very serious lung infections that are potentially deadly. This commonly affects those people who are older than 70 or who have compromised immune systems. It is contracted by droplets of water that has been contaminated by legionella.
Though Legionnaire’s disease is very rare in the UK, you are still required by law to have a Legionella Risk Assessment. As a property owner, you are required to ensure that your tenants or any employees who work on your property are protected from exposure to this potentially deadly illness.
This is why you need to perform a Legionella Risk Assessment on the property. Legionella can develop in cooling and water systems, which will get carefully inspected by the assessor to establish the risk of legionella and how you can reduce the risk of contamination. You aren’t legally required to share the testing, but you are required to protect the people who reside on your property or work there.

South Shields
Located in the North East of England, this coastal town is located on the mouth of the River Tyne. While it was originally part of the County Durham, it is now a part of Tyne and Wear since 1974. It has a population of 76,498, which is the 3rd largest in the Tyneside. The history of this settlement can actually date back to the Stone Age and Iron Age as artifacts from these eras around the Roman Fort Arbeia. A Roman fort was originally built here in AD 160 and expanded to help their soldiers on Hadrian’s Wall. This is a place to be if you love beaches and natural sights, especially with the Magnesian Limestone Cliffs.
