Important Tenant Information
Shire Housing Association Ltd has appointed Simply Diligent to carry out Legionella risk assessments in approximately 20% of our properties during this financial year.
These assessments are a legal requirement and help ensure your home remains safe and compliant with health and safety standards.
What To expect:
-
- A representative from Simply Diligent may visit your home in the coming months.
- They will carry a letter of authority from Shire Housing Association Ltd, which they can show you upon request.
- The surveyor will need access to all water outlets, including:
- Taps
- Showers
- Hot and cold-water storage tanks (both in use and unused)
Why This Matters
The risk assessment will identify any potential risk of Legionella bacteria, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease—a serious lung infection.
To help you understand more about Legionella and how you can reduce the risk, please refer to our information leaflet .
