What is a Legionella risk assessment?
Legionnaires’ disease is extremely dangerous and can be a serious problem for properties with improper or poorly kept water systems.
Legionella risk assessments are carried out by competent people – which can be homeowners, landlords, or property managers, but are more often professionals and plumbers with experience. It’s designed to provide an easy overview of the safety of the property from this perspective.
In doing so, a Legionella risk assessment will determine whether the property is safe, has potential risks, and whether it needs remedial work done.
Our template can be used as evidence that this test has been carried out, and to easily communicate to all parties involved what the next steps might be.

Why should you use a PDF template for your Legionella risk assessments?
The primary reason for using a Legionella risk assessment template is to ensure there is a clear paper trail and evidence that a thorough risk assessment has taken place.
However, for plumbers and water specialists that complete these assessments for customers, a PDF template like ours offers a few additional benefits:
It’s professional:
Our template has been professionally designed by software experts and includes all the necessary fields for a thorough Legionella risk assessment. A certificate like this offers your client peace of mind, provides evidence in case your business is accused of not carrying out a proper test, and streamlines the whole process.
It’s much neater and organised:
Compared to using a printed and handwritten certificate pad, everything is clear to read, there will be no errors you can’t correct nor rips and tears, and you can’t lose them. Organisation, too, is made easy when you can simply file it away on cloud storage as soon as you finish the assessment.
Quickly share and send the certificate:
Legionella risk assessments often need to be sent to tenants, landlords, office staff – sometimes more. Having a digital template makes this easy as you simply need to add extra recipients to your email.
What should a Legionella risk assessment certificate include?
While there is no official Legionella risk assessment template, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have made a few specifications.
Primarily, they require the assessment to consider the safety of each water outlet individually as well as how the whole system is linked together.
On our template, you’ll find fillable fields for:
- The Property In General
- Main Kitchen / Drinking Water
- Main Bathroom
- Calorifiers, Water Heaters and Boilers
- Cold Water Storage Tanks
- Exposure Risks
Filling out each of these fields will help ensure the property is safe (either presently or after remedial work has been completed).
