- Compliance audit checklist
A checklist for auditing your legionella management arrangements and records against ACOP L8 and HSG274.
- Legionella temperature monitoring log
A simple log for recording routine hot and cold water temperatures at sentinel and representative outlets, with space to note the action taken when a reading falls outside target.
- TMV service and fail-safe record
A record for servicing thermostatic mixing valves: checking the fail-safe shutoff, cleaning/descaling strainers and disinfecting, balancing scald protection with legionella control.
- Showerhead cleaning and descaling record
A record for the periodic cleaning, descaling and disinfection of showerheads, hoses and other spray outlets, which generate aerosols and accumulate scale and biofilm.
- Water safety group / plan review record
A meeting and decision record for a water safety group and water safety plan (BS 8680, and HTM 04-01 in healthcare), capturing attendance, items reviewed and actions so the plan is governed as a live management system.
- Legionella roles and appointments record
A record of who holds each legionella management role: duty holder, Responsible Person and deputies: with the date appointed, their responsibilities and the evidence of competence, as expected under ACoP L8.
