What is ACOP L8

ACOP L8 is the HSE’s Approved Code of Practice for controlling legionella bacteria in water systems. While it isn’t law in itself, it’s recognised as best practice and is widely used to demonstrate compliance with duties under health and safety legislation.

L8 is supported by HSG274, which provides more detailed technical guidance for different system types (including hot and cold-water systems and higher-risk systems). Following this guidance helps protect building users and reduce the risk of Legionnaires’ disease.

Legionella Risk Assessments

The starting point of any compliance programme. We assess your water systems, identify risk areas, and provide a comprehensive report with prioritised actions. If required, we can act as your competent person and support you with a written scheme of control.

Legionella Compliance & Management

Legionella compliance requires more than a report — it needs consistent management. We help you maintain a structured programme that supports legal compliance and safe water use across your premises.

Water Sampling & Testing

Sampling is a crucial part of many legionella programmes. We provide professional sampling and testing support to help you understand water quality and confirm your control measures are working.

Legionella Remedial Works

Where risks are found, remedial works may be required to improve safety and compliance. We deliver practical solutions that focus on improving system design and reducing conditions that allow legionella to grow.
