Legionella Ready

How many water points are in your building?

6?200?1000?

Legionella only needs one.

Tap any one of them

What the test does

It doesn’t mark you. It shows you.

Every water point in a building is either accounted for or it isn’t. The test lets you open a few of them and see which of the two you are looking at — using your answers, not ours.

There are only four states

Unknown Up to date Action due Action required

Every water point you have is in one of these four right now. The only question is whether anyone can see which.

Grey is not a pass.

Grey is the absence of a record. It is not a judgement about your building, and it is not something we can tell you — it is what is left once you have said which points you can account for.

“We flush the taps.”

Good. Most people do, and it is worth doing. Here is what it reaches.

One point turns green when somebody stands in front of it, takes a reading, and puts their name and the date on that point. Nothing else turns it green.

Not a policy. Not a folder. Not a visit two years ago.

Who this is for

You don’t have a water safety team.

The person responsible for water safety usually has three other jobs and took this one on last month. That is who this is built for — not a consultant, and not an enterprise compliance department.

What you actually do

  1. Find your buildingPostcode, then tap your roof on the map.
  2. Count every water pointRoom by room — including the ones nobody uses.
  3. Check them, and keep checkingA reading, a date, a name. The colour follows.

Then you can see your building.

Eight weeks in. Green is checked and in date. Amber is due. Red needs someone today. Grey is what you still can’t speak for.
