The basics

What is a Legionella risk assessment?

A Legionella risk assessment is a structured review of water systems and related conditions that may need monitoring, management or follow-up. For residential property teams, it usually involves recording observations, access details, photos, recommendations and any remedial actions that need to be reviewed. InventoryBase can support these workflows by helping teams capture observations, organise evidence, generate reports and maintain clearer records.

Water-System Observations

Record information about outlets, tanks, cylinders, pipework, temperatures or other relevant assessment points where used.

Evidence-Led Reporting

Capture photos, notes, access details and supporting observations.

Recommendations and Follow-Up

Document remedial actions, review requirements and contractor instructions.

Recurring Reviews

Schedule or track future assessments and reinspections.

Audit-Ready Records

Maintain a clear history of inspections, reports, actions, documents and verification.

InventoryBase supports structured Legionella risk assessment workflows. It does not replace competent assessment, professional judgement, water testing or specialist advice.

Why it matters

Why structured Legionella records matter

Legionella workflows often involve repeated checks, specialist observations, documents, recommendations and follow-up actions. Without a structured system, evidence can become disconnected from reports, repairs and review history.

Use templates to standardise reports across assessors, teams and providers.

Stronger Evidence Capture

Attach photos, notes, access details and supporting documentation.

Clearer Recommendations

Record remedial actions, review notes and next steps.

Better Follow-Up

Connect assessment findings to repair, contractor or work order workflows.

Recurring Review Visibility

Track assessment dates, review dates and follow-up requirements.

Full Audit Trail

Keep assessment, report, document, action and verification records connected.
