Legionella Monitoring & Control
Legionella Risk Assessment - Legionella Control
Health & Safety Executive HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8 )
A key component of ACoP L8 – The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, is that after a Legionella Risk Assessment is completed a written monitoring plan to control the identified risks of Legionella is prepared.
A water monitoring plan will identify the chosen control measure and how this will be actioned and implemented. It will also evaluate how often the system should be managed and monitored. A detailed record of all precautions and recommendations should be contained in a dedicated site logbook.

Water Monitoring Plan
A water monitoring plan will identify the chosen control measure e.g. avoiding water temperatures between 20ºC and 45ºC and how it will be achieved.
A Monitoring Plan should be closely adhered to and actions should be implemented, regularly managed and monitored.
