Water and legionella risk assessment software for consultants

A legionella risk assessment is one of the most document-heavy visits a water hygiene consultant carries out: system identification, COTE evaluation, management control checks, temperature records, asset registers and a prioritised action plan, all under HSE L8. Lytom Assess is structured legionella risk assessment software with an iOS and web consultant app, so you capture everything on site and issue a branded PDF directly to your client’s portal.

Built for the legionella risk assessment workflow

Most consultancies still assemble legionella reports from Word templates, Excel temperature logs and email attachments. Lytom Assess replaces that with a single structured workflow aligned with common UK practice under HSE L8 and HSG274. Each tab maps to what auditors and dutyholders expect to see in a defensible written assessment.

Survey and water systems identification

Record evaporative cooling, domestic hot and cold water, healthcare systems, spa pools, adiabatic plant, fire fighting systems and other hazard categories. Toggle which blocks appear in the PDF per site. COTE risk blocks, building services narrative and sources of information sit on the same tab.

Schematics

Upload indicative schematic drawings for the site. Include or exclude from the PDF, with a clear disclaimer that drawings are for assessment purposes only.

Asset register

Log locations, medium and high risk outlets, low-risk outlet presence, responsibilities and comments for each area of the site.

Visit temperature log

Record sentinel outlet temperatures by location and date. Cold water storage tank inspection fields where a tank visit is included in scope.

System assessment checks

L8-aligned Yes / No / N/A checklists across domestic water operation, management control, storage and distribution. Flag further action where a check fails.

Assessment controls

Mark controls as compliant or action required by category: hot water temperatures, TMVs, storage tanks, dead legs, showers and cooling towers. Progress counters show completion at a glance.

Action plan and certificate

Prioritised actions with target dates, sign-off and references back to survey sections. Generate a legionella risk assessment certificate PDF alongside the full report, using your consultancy branding.

Capture on site, issue from anywhere

Legionella work is inherently on-site. Use the iOS app or web app to complete system checks and temperature readings while you walk the building. When you return to your desk, review the PDF preview, run QA if needed, and publish to the client portal. Your client sees the latest report and open actions without a round of emails.
