Your responsibility
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, owners and operators of all commercial premises (including schools, retirement homes, social housing, health care, offices, prisons, MOD sites, hotels, ETC) have a statutory duty to control the risk of legionella bacteria in water systems (hot and cold services, spa baths, cooling towers etc)

Owners and operators of buildings are required to:

  • Identify and assess the sources of risk
  • Prepare a scheme for preventing or controlling the risk
  • Appoint a person to be managerially responsible
  • Implement and manage precautions
  • Keep records of the precautions implemented

Overview - Water System Monitoring

Building managers are provided with a water system log book which is used to store the records of legionella control monitoring tasks carried out, this would include;

 Weekly flushing of little used outlets
 Monthly temperature test results of representative outlets
 Quarterly descaling of shower heads and spray taps
 Annual inspection of calorifiers
 Annual water storage tank inspection
 24 monthly legionella risk assessment review
 A Water Hygiene Surveyor will visit the site at regular intervals to ensure that risks are kept in control.

Temperatures and conditions will be compared with parameters detailed in L8.

If conditions are identified which could possibly lead to the growth of legionella bacteria then recommendations will be made to minimise the risk

Training can be given to your staff to enable them to carry out certain periodic monitoring tasks.
