Summary
In short
- A legionella control record is a record used in KnowMaintain that records temperature checks, flushing, sampling and cleaning across water systems that can generate aerosols. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
- Run at the interval set by the risk assessment. Completed by the responsible person.
- The template holds 50 fields across 6 sections, with temperature monitoring repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is compliance rate, where high is good.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Water treatment, Biological exposure.
What it is
What it is
What is a legionella control record?
A legionella control record is a record used in KnowMaintain that records temperature checks, flushing, sampling and cleaning across water systems that can generate aerosols. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
When is a legionella control record completed?
A legionella control record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Run at the interval set by the risk assessment.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links water treatment, biological exposure
Not for
- Boiler Operation Record, which records boiler operating parameters, water treatment results and blowdown through a shift.
- Refrigeration Plant Log, which records suction and discharge pressures, temperatures, oil levels and run hours across the refrigeration plant.
- Water Treatment Record, which records dosing, testing and results for boiler, cooling and process water systems.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the legionella control record template based on?+
It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1. ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library. ISO is international Organization for Standardization. A voluntary international standard. Widely adopted, often required by customers, and certifiable where a management system standard.
What sections does the legionella control record contain?+
There are 6 sections: header, temperature monitoring, flushing and dead legs, storage and equipment, sampling, result. Together they hold 50 fields, 34 of which are required.
How many legionella control record records should we have?+
This is a singleton. One record per workspace, set up once and maintained, rather than one per event. Other templates refer back to it.
Which programme does the legionella control record belong to?+
It is part of Pressure Systems and Refrigeration. Statutory examinations in date and an ammonia position that stands up to a regulator visit.
How is a legionella control record scored?+
Scoring is compliance rate. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the legionella control record template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the legionella control record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
