Risk Assessment Description:

This universal checklist supports the systematic inspection and ongoing monitoring of Legionella control measures in any workplace – be it an office, factory, warehouse, retail outlet or care setting. It aligns with the legal duties set out in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8 and the HSE guidance HSG274, ensuring that water systems are managed to prevent the growth and spread of Legionella bacteria.

The checklist covers the full ten‑dimension safety framework: planning and documentation, competence and supervision, site environment, plant and equipment, hazardous substances, personal protective equipment, collective protective measures, emergency preparedness, and completion/record‑keeping. Each closed Yes/No/N/A question is designed to be quickly answerable on site while providing evidence of compliance for auditors and regulators.

Use this checklist to verify that a current Legionella risk assessment is in place, temperature controls are within required limits, water storage and distribution systems are regularly cleaned and flushed, sampling and testing procedures are followed, and corrective actions are documented. It also confirms that staff are trained, appropriate PPE is used, signage is displayed, and an emergency response plan is ready.

Additional considerations include ensuring the inspection area is free from clutter, has adequate lighting, and that first‑aid provisions are available for any water‑related injuries.

Use this checklist for:

Routine water system inspections and monitoring programmes
Pre‑maintenance or pre‑work safety briefings
Audit and regulatory compliance reviews
Verification of corrective actions after Legionella testing

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8, HSG274 and relevant HSE guidance.

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.
