There is a legal duty for the duty holder of building premises to carry out a Legionella risk assessment and from this, develop a written scheme of control, implement processes to manage and control identified risks and ensure that appropriate records are kept.
The Legionella logbook is instrumental in ensuring the management responsibilities; control processes and record keeping are implemented.
This course is for individuals responsible for implementing Legionella management policies and procedures and maintaining a logbook and appropriate records within the building premises.
This course requires basic knowledge of the management of risk in water systems, so you should have previously attended Eastwood Park’s Legionella Awareness Course (or an equivalent).
To provide learners with the statutory and practical knowledge to develop and maintain logbooks and statutory records required for compliance.
BY THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
– State the requirements of legislation and regulations for water distribution systems.
– Describe the prominent waterborne pathogens – occurrence, ecology and transmission routes.
– State the elements of a risk assessment, written scheme of control, risk minimisation plan as part of the logbook system.
– Describe the constituent parts of a suitable logbook system.
– Demonstrate the knowledge required to develop a logbook system and the format and layout of the written documentation.
The Legionella Log Book Awareness course provides an understanding of how to maintain accurate Legionella records and demonstrate compliance with current legislation and guidance. Learners explore the purpose of a Legionella log book, the records that should be maintained, monitoring requirements and how effective documentation supports safe water management in line with ACoP L8 and HSG 274.
A Legionella log book is a central record of all activities carried out to manage Legionella risks within a water system. It typically includes risk assessments, monitoring results, temperature checks, flushing records, inspection reports, cleaning and disinfection records, corrective actions and evidence that the written scheme of control is being followed.
Maintaining an up-to-date Legionella log book helps organisations demonstrate compliance with ACoP L8, HSG 274 and other legal requirements. It provides evidence that water systems are being monitored, maintained and managed effectively, while supporting audits, inspections and investigations if issues arise.
Yes. Learners gain an understanding of the record-keeping requirements outlined within ACoP L8 and HSG 274, including the importance of maintaining accurate, accessible and up-to-date documentation to support effective Legionella management and legal compliance.
By the end of the course, you’ll understand how to maintain a Legionella log book, organise compliance records, review monitoring information, support audits, identify missing documentation and contribute to the effective management of water hygiene records within your organisation.
A well-maintained Legionella log book provides evidence that monitoring, inspections and maintenance are being completed as required. It supports the written scheme of control, demonstrates due diligence and helps organisations prove they are effectively managing Legionella risks in accordance with current legislation and guidance.
