Legionella Risk Assessment Checklist
Conduct a comprehensive legionella risk assessment for domestic properties and water systems. Follow prompts to record property type, hot and cold water system details, and check critical controls: cold water below 20 degrees C, hot water stored at 60 degrees C and delivered above 50 degrees C. Inspect and photograph storage tanks, verify lids and cleanliness, insulate where needed, and note defects and responsible persons. Review boiler settings, flush little-used outlets weekly, and clean and descale shower heads at least every six months. Address dead legs and manage unoccupied periods by routine flushing or draining. Review at least annually and align actions with HSE L8 guidance.
