Legionella Risk Assessment

R2J provides professional Legionella risk assessments to help Florida facilities identify vulnerabilities in their water systems and maintain compliance with health and safety standards. Whether you’re developing a new water management plan or updating an existing one, a thorough risk assessment is the first step.

Why a Legionella Risk Assessment Is Essential

Legionella bacteria thrive in warm, stagnant water and are most dangerous when aerosolized through systems like cooling towers, showers, decorative fountains, and domestic hot water loops. A comprehensive legionella risk assessment allows facility teams to:

Identify high-risk components and exposure points
Understand system layout, usage patterns, and water temperatures
Flag deficiencies in maintenance or control measures
Establish a baseline for ongoing Legionella prevention and monitoring

A documented risk assessment is also a key requirement under standards such as ASHRAE Standard 188, (CMS) Memo S&C 17-30, and Florida Department of Health guidelines.
