Serviced Offices
Don't wait until a tenant or insurer asks for the legionella risk assessment you don't have.
Serviced offices and coworking spaces have a legal obligation to manage legionella risks, but it's one of the most commonly overlooked compliance requirements in the sector. The issue often surfaces when a corporate tenant requests the legionella risk assessment as part of their due diligence, or when an insurer asks for evidence of water safety management during a policy renewal. By then, you need to act fast.
