From legionella risk assessment to a live monitoring logbook

A legionella risk assessment names control deficiencies and prioritised remedial actions. PropertyActions turns those into a recurring monitoring logbook — checks, temperatures, corrective actions and evidence — built around your site's own written control scheme.

The duty

What the law asks of the dutyholder

PropertyActions tracks the actions that flow from these duties — it doesn't assume them.

Assess, then control to a written scheme

Where the risk assessment identifies control deficiencies, it must include prioritised remedial actions, each naming the person responsible and a review date to confirm completion. Controls are implemented through a site-specific written control scheme.

Use the site's own control limits

Temperature thresholds and monitoring frequencies must come from the dutyholder's own competent written control scheme for that site. Generic, hard-coded universal limits must not be applied — PropertyActions tracks against the scheme you upload, not a default.

Appoint a competent responsible person

The dutyholder must appoint a competent responsible person to manage the scheme day to day; where in-house competence is lacking, an external competent person must be appointed.

The record

What the record must hold

Who, what scheme, and whether in use

Records must identify who conducted the risk assessment and manages the scheme, capture the significant findings, describe the control scheme and its implementation, and state whether each system is in use.

Monitoring, tests and corrective actions

Log results of all monitoring, inspection, tests and checks with dates; corrective actions taken; water analysis; chemical usage; equipment inspections; and cleaning/disinfection certificates.

The interval

Per the written scheme; records kept 2–5 years

Monitoring frequency is set by the site's control scheme. General risk-assessment and control records are kept for as long as current plus at least two years; records of monitoring, inspection, tests or checks are kept for a minimum of five years.
