Risk Assessment Description:

This free legionella risk assessment template is designed for building owners, facilities managers and health & safety professionals who need a quick, compliant way to assess hazards in water systems. Whether you’re managing hot‑water distribution in a hotel, maintaining cooling towers in an office block, or overseeing water safety in a school, this legionella risk assessment example provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise.

The template covers all key risks for water systems, including stagnant pipework, temperature control failures, bio‑film buildup, scale and corrosion, inadequate flushing of dead‑legs, faulty mixing valves, poorly maintained cooling towers, open water tanks, aerosol‑generating devices such as showers, and lack of a documented water safety plan. It also includes legionella hazards and control measures for hot‑water systems, cold‑water systems, and evaporative cooling equipment, supporting legionella risk assessment download for compliance.

Use this template for:

  • Water system risk planning – quickly identify legionella‑related hazards before work starts.
  • Staff briefings – provide clear, actionable control measures to maintenance crews.
  • Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to the Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems Regulations 2013 and HSE guidance.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering regular flushing, temperature monitoring, cleaning protocols, water treatment, record‑keeping and appointment of a competent person. The risk matrix uses a standard 5×5 likelihood‑severity scoring, with controlled severity always matching the initial severity as required by HSE guidance.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures to match your conditions, then download as a PDF for records or share with your team.

Compliant with: Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems Regulations 2013, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, HSE Guidance on Legionella.
