Legionella Water Sampling and Results Register

An editable Excel Legionella register and log book for cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, showers, spas and other water systems. List your systems, set a sampling schedule and record every sample: date and time, sample point, water temperature, laboratory and accreditation, when analysis started and the result in CFU per mL. The sheet reads each result, flags action needed, works out the hours from sampling to analysis against the 12-hour starting value and compares hot and cold water temperatures with set values. It also carries the 1 business day notice and the periodic report for a prescribed facility. Corrective Actions records isolation, disinfection, flushing, the re-test and sign-off. It works as a Legionella water sampling register for the record behind your water risk management plan.
