Did You Do Enough Last Year For Compliance?

Digital thermometer measuring hot water temperature at a tap during Legionella compliance testing. — A new year doesn’t reset risk.

Did you do enough last year for compliance? If your Legionella control wasn’t strong enough, the calendar doesn’t wipe the slate clean. No incidents don’t equal safety — it often just means you were lucky.

So, ask yourself honestly: did you actually do enough last year? If you can’t answer confidently, the answer is no.

The Essentials You MUST Have in Place

A written scheme of works including accurate schematic drawing
An up-to-date Legionella Risk Assessment
Weekly & monthly monitoring recorded accurately
Temperatures logged — not assumed
Outlets flushed consistently
Tanks & calorifiers inspected with documented results
Sentinel Legionella and tank TVC sampling completed correctly and processed accurately
Training delivered, not “mentioned”
Non-conformities actioned, not ignored

If any of these sits in the “probably” category, your risk didn’t fall — it accumulated.

Proof Matters More Than Intent

Compliance isn’t about activity. It’s about accountability. Did you do enough last year for compliance accountability? Think carefully.

Someone signs it off. Someone answers if something goes wrong.

This year won’t care what you meant to do — only what you can prove you did.

Records protect people.

Good companies assume they’re compliant…Great companies can prove it.

Can You Evidence Everything Tomorrow?

No panic.
Paperwork under control.
Zero excuses.

If the answer is “not really,” you already know last year wasn’t enough — and you still have time to correct it. Did you do enough last year for compliance to avoid corrections?

The only unacceptable outcome is realising you didn’t do enough when it’s already too late.
