What Does Legionella Monitoring Involve?
Legionella monitoring usually comes after a Legionella risk assessment has been completed, which identifies any risk potentials in your water systems. Then, any hazards must be dealt with properly-inputted Legionella remedial works.
Legionella monitoring serves to manage and control risks of Legionella exposure going forwards, ensuring you meet HSE’s Legionella compliance requirements.
It is essential to protect your water systems from the dangers that Legionella bacteria pose.

Your Legionella Monitoring Scheme
Once we have collated the results of your Legionella testing and assessment, we can help you with remedial actions and control measures.
Monitoring includes weekly flushing of outlets, to remove stagnant water that promotes Legionella growth and ensuring regular temperature checks. A full written monitoring scheme from us can include any or all of the below, depending on the severity of what the assessment has found:
- Water treatment
Water treatment may be needed if occupants or visitors of the premises are at higher risk of serious lung infections caused by exposure to Legionella bacteria. It can include copper and silver ionisation, UV radiation, and chlorine dioxide treatments.
- Giving you a clear management structure
This includes the designated duty holder, their communication pathways, their allocated responsibilities, and training on Legionella monitoring and control.
- A detailed schematic of your water systems
We will map out the full layout of your systems, identifying piping routes, storage and header tanks, calorifiers and relevant items like water softeners, filters, strainers, pumps, and water outlets. This is so you know where monitoring points are.
- How to operate your water system correctly
This includes how to control your water temperature to prevent Legionella bacteria from proliferating.
- Remedial action
If your monitoring scheme is not effective, we include control scheme reviews and suggested modifications to make.
- Health and safety information
This includes how to properly handle, use, store, and dispose of chemicals used in any water system treatments and tests.
- Incident Plans
This includes what to do if there is:
- A major plant failure
- An outbreak of Legionellosis or Legionnaires’ disease on your site
- Very high levels of Legionella or repeat positive water analyses for Legionella
