According to HSE ACoP L8 The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, the assessment should be reviewed every 2 years and if there is reason to suspect that is no longer valid, for example:

  • Where there have been changes to plant, the water system or its use;
  • Where there have been changes to the use of the building;
  • Where new information about risk or control measures has become available;
  • Where monitoring indicates that control measures are no longer effective.
