Legionella Temperature Checks for Unoccupied Properties

by Andrew Connor, from the Community

Use this checklist to record hot and cold water outlet temperatures in unoccupied units to control Legionella risk. Follow steps to run outlets, measure with a thermometer, and capture thresholds for blended, cold, and hot water. Document results for sinks and showers, perform visual checks of showerheads, and note cleaning or descaling actions if non compliant. Include date, location, and competent person signature to maintain compliance and audit readiness.

Capture photos, add notes, log temperatures, and verify flushing routines for unoccupied properties. Create on-site reports to document findings, track corrective actions, and maintain compliance with legionella control guidelines.

Legionella Risk Assessment Template
This sample Legionella risk assessment helps duty holders evaluate domestic hot and cold water systems to minimize Legionnaires disease risk. It covers outlet temperature checks, cold water tank condition and lids, hot water stored at 60 degrees C, flushing of little used outlets, shower head cleaning and descaling, removal of dead legs, and controls for unoccupied properties. The checklist prompts defects, risks, recommendations, and responsible persons, and advises regular review at least annually or when conditions change. Use as a starting point and seek professional guidance to ensure compliance in your jurisdiction.
