Bespoke Legionella Control Regimes
Structured, site-specific Legionella control programmes designed to maintain compliance, manage risk, and provide ongoing assurance for duty holders.
What a Bespoke Legionella Control Regime Is
A bespoke Legionella control regime is a planned programme of monitoring, inspection, maintenance, and review activities tailored to a specific water system and risk profile.
Rather than relying on generic schedules, the regime is built around:
The findings of the Legionella Risk Assessment
System complexity and usage patterns
Occupancy and vulnerability considerations
The objective is consistent control over time — not reactive intervention.
Why Generic Schedules Are Not Enough
Legionella risk varies significantly between sites.
Applying a one-size-fits-all approach can result in:
Unnecessary tasks that add no value
Gaps in monitoring where risk actually exists
Inconsistent records that weaken compliance positions
A bespoke control regime ensures that effort is focused where it matters most, while remaining proportionate and defensible.
What a Bespoke Control Regime Typically Includes
Each regime is structured around the site’s actual risks and system design. This may include:
Routine temperature monitoring of hot and cold outlets
Flushing of infrequently used outlets
Inspection and servicing of TMVs
Showerhead and outlet cleaning and disinfection
Water sampling and laboratory testing (where required)
Closed system checks or plant inspections (where applicable)
Periodic review of system changes and usage
Activities are clearly defined, scheduled, and recorded.
A Structured, Risk-Based Process
Review of Legionella Risk Assessment
We analyse current findings, control measures, and recommendations.
Programme Scheduling
Frequencies are set in line with guidance and site needs.
Control Measure Selection
Monitoring and maintenance activities are selected based on risk.
System & Occupancy Evaluation
System layout, usage patterns, and user vulnerability are considered.
Responsibility Allocation
Clear definition of who does what, client, contractor, or both.
Continuous Compliance Evidence
A bespoke control regime generates structured records over time, including:
Monitoring logs and inspection records
Servicing and maintenance documentation
Sampling results (where applicable)
Records of corrective actions taken
Periodic review notes and updates
These records demonstrate active, ongoing risk management rather than static compliance.
