Create Legionella Risk Assessment Reports with Flow Mobile Surveying

Are you looking for a way to create Legionella Risk Assessment reports quickly and accurately?

Our new Legionella Risk Assessment template for Flow Mobile Surveying lets you collect risk and hazard data on-site using your Android or iOS phone or tablet, then create Legionella Risk Assessment reports that follow the UK's HSG 274 standard & L8 Approved Code of Practice in minutes, Including the stricter requirements of Augmented Care areas.

Why are Legionella Risk Assessments important?

Legionella Risk Assessments are an essential process for ensuring that any man-made water system is safe for a builidings occupants.

These assessments identify, evaluate, and help control the presence of dangerous Legionella bacteria in water systems, protecting human health and ensuring compliance with safety laws.

Our Legionella Risk Assessment App

The UK has strict guidelines for legionella risk assessments, and the HSG 274 standard & L8 Approved Code of Practice, provide detailed guidance on how to carry out these assessments.

Our surveying app uses "templates" for data collection. So we've released a new template on the the Flow Mobile Surveying app that follows the guidelines laid out in the original HSG 274 standard & L8 Approved Code of Practice.

Of course, we understand that the compliance industry changes constantly, and we're not the true experts, you are!

That's why we've made this template as flexible as possible; you can input your own risks and hazards, allowing you to stay up to date with the most relevant standards and follow your own working practices.

Quick Fills and Presets make data entry fast and accurate

The new template for legionella Risk Assessments in our Flow Mobile Surveying app includes several time-saving features that will help speed up your surveying and reporting process.

These features include Quick Fills and Presets. Quick Fills are pre-populated answers to common questions, which can be easily inserted into the assessment report.

Presets can be used to automatically create multiple inspection items in one go — for example, all the standard outlet types that can be found in a commercial kitchen area.

How to use the Legionella Risk Assessment Template in the Flow Mobile Surveying app

To use the new Legionella Risk Assessment Template in the Flow Mobile Surveying app, legionella risk assessors can watch this walkthrough video and then contact us to arrange a demo, or email our support team to have the template added to an existing account.

During the online demo, we'll guide assessors through the process of carrying out the assessment, and how to answer relevant questions based on the UK's HSG 274 standard & L8 Approved Code of Practice, Incl. Augmented Care areas.

Immediately after the demo, we'll set you up with a test account using your company branding. You can download the Mobile App from the App Store or Google Play Store and create a legionella risk assessment in a matter of minutes.

We usually suggest surveying your house or office to get a feel for the Mobile App.

Benefits of using the Flow Mobile Surveying app for Legionella Risk Assessments

The new Legionella Risk Assessment Template in the Flow Mobile Surveying app offers several benefits to legionella risk assessors — ultimately it will save you report writing time to focus on what matters the most.

Firstly, it saves time by automating the process of carrying out assessments and producing reports. Any legionella risk assessor that has previously used Microsoft Word for their reporting will know it can take many hours or days to create reports manually.

Secondly, using our app — and setting it up to follow the precise standards you use — ensures that your assessments are carried out in a consistent way, every time, whether that's following the guidelines set out in the HSG 274 standard or other tried and tested methods.

Finally, it provides reassurance to your clients, the building owners and occupants that their safety is being taken seriously.

Wrapping up

Legionella Risk Assessments are essential for keeping people safe in commercial and residential buildings.

The new Legionella Risk Assessment Template in the Flow Mobile Surveying app follows the HSG 274 standard & L8 Approved Code of Practice, and offers several time-saving features.
