Executive Summary
Site Description
St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School & Nursery School, is an educational facility based in Nottingham. The
two-storey building is mainly brick built and the original building was constructed in 1910. The mains school
was built in 1970 and the Nursery in 2012. Exposure potential for legionella is limited to those within the
building and there are no evaporative coolers on site. The school is open during all term times, so there is
potential for periods of extended or significantly reduced use or non-use in the summer time and at Christmas.
There are approximately 350 pupils using the school and 40-50 staff ranging over all age ranges and an equal
gender split.
The Systems
The domestic hot & cold system on site comprise of a mains fed cold water service which rises in the gas meter
cupboard and feeds all cold outlets in the building. It also feeds a cold water storage tank located in the tank
room on the roof space. This is turn feeds 2 primary coil heated calorifiers located in the basement boiler room.
This feeds domestic hot water to hot water outlets in the building as confirmed in the asset register and on the
schematic drawing. The mains also feeds 3 heating boilers which feed low temperature hot water to all
radiators in the building and also a number of electric point of use/low volume water heaters. The locations of
these are confirmed in the survey and on the schematic drawing.
The Management
At the time of the assessment, the duty holder & responsible person have been identified and the names are
confirmed in the management survey area of the assessment. Monitoring is currently carried out by a service
provider, Second Element and records appear to be up to date.

Risk Assessment Scope
Acquiesce Environmental Compliance Ltd was commissioned by St Augustine's Catholic Primary and Nursery
School to carry out a risk assessment in accordance with the requirements of ACOP L8 Legionnaires Disease the
control of legionella bacteria in water systems. All the domestic water and heating systems found within the
building are included within this assessment
Additional Comments
This Risk Assessment should be reviewed regularly (at least every 2 years) and particularly if there are
reasonable grounds to believe that it may no longer be valid (ACOP L8 Para 27). It is advisable to conduct an
annual review of all monitoring programmes control schemes lines of communication and record keeping in
order to ensure that best practices are being maintained. Regular risk assessment reviews and the adoption of
effective procedures to prevent or control the risk will enable the Statutory Duty Holder to demonstrate that all
pertinent factors have been properly considered. (ACOP L8 Para 29)

Risk Assessment Responsibilities
The responsibility for implementing and completing the corrective measures remains with the Statutory Duty
Holder or nominated Responsible Person. We would recommend that you read the HSE ACoP L8: 2013
Legionnaires' disease. The control of legionella bacteria in water systems.
This can be down loaded from http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l8.pdf
Technical guidance is available in HSG274 Parts 1 to 3, please see further guidance section.
Failing to action the findings of a risk assessment may result in Legionella bacteria proliferating in the water
systems inspected. Legionella is potentially fatal.
The use of L8MS-Risk software does not negate the responsibility of the service provider to ensure the Risk
Assessor is competent to undertake legionellosis risk assessments. It is imperative that all operatives using
L8MS-Risk are suitable trained. To include:
Use of the software
Principals of risk assessment.
A sound knowledge of legionella legislation, water system design and control practices.
Those appointing a service provider must also ensure that the competence of the service provider is assessed, a
guide can be found in BS8580:2010 Water quality - Risk assessments for Legionella control - Code of practice.
Risk Assessment Ratings
LR - Legionella Risk Ratings
LR - Legionella Risk Rating has been used to prioritise corrective actions relating directly to legionella control.
Our assessment is based on the residual risk with the current design & control systems in place. Failure of the
current control system could easily result in the water system reverting to a far higher risk rating - the water
systems inherent risk.
Level 0 HAZARD (Legionellosis) x LIKELIHOOD (Very Low) = RISK (Minimal)
No additional action required.
Level 1 HAZARD (Legionellosis) x LIKELIHOOD (Low) = RISK (Slight risk under abnormal operating conditions)
Take actions when other more significant risks have been completed.
Level 2 HAZARD (Legionellosis) x LIKELIHOOD (Possible) = RISK (Possible risk with existing operating conditions)
Take actions when operationally practicable, time periods often programmed to fit with shutdowns or planned maintenance.
Level 3 HAZARD (Legionellosis) x LIKELIHOOD (Present) = RISK (Probable risk with existing operating conditions)
Take actions as soon as possible, time periods are typically a few months maximum.
Level 4 HAZARD (Legionellosis) x LIKELIHOOD (High) = RISK (Imminent risk of harm or loss)
Take immediate action to reduce the risk, this may include taking systems off line.

GR - General Risk Ratings
GR - General Risk Rating has been used to prioritise corrective actions relating to general safety concerns, such
as working at heights, or scalding risks pointed out under our duty of care.
Level 0 No additional action required.
Level 1 Take actions when other more significant risks have been completed.
Level 2 Take actions when operationally practicable.
Level 3 Take actions as soon as possible.
Level 4 Take immediate action to reduce risk.
We as a service provider are unable to define exact time scales for corrective action as this is dependent on any
other risks within your organisation and the budget available for corrective actions. A programme of
implementation should be devised.

Comments: LR: 0 GR: 0 Located in the basement plant room of the main building
Title: Pitted fittings of hot pipework in basement plant room
Comments: LR: 2 GR: 0 This build up of 'pitting' is the direct result of the oxidation process. Oxygen degrades metals through an
electro-chemical process of internal oxidation. The result is that the metal gradually get converted to an oxide
(rust), becoming thinner and weaker in the process. As the pipe corrodes, the impurities are deposited into the
water lines, thus providing a habitat for bacteria colonies to become established in, and nutrients for their
metabolisms.

Title: Infrequently used shower
Comments: LR: 3 GR: 0 Located in the disabled toilet of the nursery block. As can be seen, the evidence suggests that this shower is
infrequently, if ever used. It should either be completely removed with all pipework cut right back, or added to
the weekly flushing regime.
Title: Electric Water Heater 6
Comments: LR: 2 GR: 0 Located in the roof space of the nursery block. As can be seen, the expansion vessel is pointing downwards and
has been fitted incorrectly. Expansion vessels should be upright on a vertical plane. The expansion vessel
should be re-fitted on a vertical plane and either replaced with an inlet/outlet type vessel, or have an isolation
valve and drain valve fitted to enable flushing of potentially stagnant water every 6 months

Control Scheme
Infrequently Used Outlets
Weekly -
Infrequently used equipment within a water system (ie not used for a period equal to or greater than seven
days) should be included on the flushing regime. Flush the outlets until the temperature at the outlet stabilises
and is comparable to supply water and purge to drain. Regularly use the outlets to minimise the risk from
microbial growth in the peripheral parts of the water system, sustain and log this procedure once started. For
high risk populations, eg healthcare and care homes, more frequent flushing may be required as indicated by
the risk assessment.
Where possible -
Consideration should be given to removing infrequently used showers, taps and any associated equipment that
use water. If removed, any redundant supply pipework should be cut back as far as possible to a common
supply (eg to the recirculating pipework or the pipework supplying a more frequently used upstream fitting)
but preferably by removing the feeding ‘T’.
1 x infrequently used outlet(s) - located Ground Nursery Block Disabled Toilet Electric Shower
Sentinel Locations
Monthly
Non-Circulating hot water - take temperatures at sentinel points (nearest outlet, furthest outlet and long
branches to outlets) to confirm they are at a minimum of 50°C within one minute
Circulating hot water - take temperatures at return legs of principal loops (sentinel points) to confirm they are
at a minimum of 50°C. Temperature measurements may be taken on the surface of metallic pipework.
Quarterly - Circulating hot water - take temperatures at return legs of subordinate loops, temperature
measurements can be taken on the surface of pipes, but where this is not practicable, the temperature of
water from the last outlet on each loop may be measured and this should be greater than 50°C within one
minute of running. If the temperature rise is slow, it should be confirmed that the outlet is on a long leg and
not that the flow and return has failed in that local area.

Page: 142 / 145
TMV
Monthly - Check and record blended water temperature regularly in healthcare applications or where the duty
holder assesses a high scalding risk exists. The manufacturer is likely to recommend regular temperature checks
where increased risks are perceived such as where patients are unable to immediately respond to an increase
in water temperature by either shutting the water off or removing themselves from the contact with the water.
Annually - Risk assess whether the TMV fitting is required, and if not, remove it.

Mains
Hot weather - Incoming water temperature should be well below 20°C for most, if not all of the year. In an
exceptionally hot summer, it may be necessary to review the risk assessment and take appropriate action to
mitigate the risk.
MCWS 1 - The mains water stop valve is located in the gas meter room of the main building
MCWS 2 - The mains water stop valve for the nursery block is located in the nursery plant room
Tank (Cistern)
Annually (Summer) - Monitor the temperature of stored cold water and inlet (float valve) temperature.
Annually - Visual inspection of the cold water storage tank to check the condition of the inside of the tank and
the water within it. The lid should be in good condition and fit closely. The insect screen on the water overflow
pipe should be intact and in good condition. The thermal insulation on the cold water storage tank should be in
good condition so that it protects it from extremes of temperature. The water surface should be clean and
shiny and the water should not contain any debris or contamination. The cold water storage tank should be
cleaned, disinfected and faults rectified, if considered necessary.
CWST - The domestic cold water tank is located in the tank room on the roof

Calorifier (Water heater)
Monthly - Check calorifier flow temperatures (thermostat settings should modulate as close to 60°C as
practicable without going below 60°C).
Annually - Inspect calorifier internally by removing the inspection hatch or using a boroscope and clean by
draining the vessel. The frequency of inspection and cleaning should be subject to the findings and increased or
decreased based on conditions recorded.
At least Annually - Where there is no inspection hatch, purge any debris in the base of the calorifier to a
suitable drain. Collect the initial flush from the base of hot water heaters to inspect clarity, quantity of debris,
and temperature.

Management
Annually - Inspect the record system for completeness.
Management - The previous legionella risk assessment and monitoring data is accessed via request to the site
manager
Dead Legs
ASAP -
The dead ends or capped ends identified below should be removed. When removed, any redundant supply
pipework should be cut back as far as possible to a common supply (e.g. to the recirculating pipework or the
pipework supplying a more frequently used upstream fitting) but preferably by removing the feeding ‘T’.
Weekly (or as defined by the risk assessment) -
Dead ends within a water system that can not be removed should be fitted with a flushing valve and included

on the flushing regime. Flush the outlets until the temperature at the outlet stabilises and is comparable to
supply water. This procedure must be repeated and logged once started.
1 x deadleg(s) - located Ground Main Kitchen Dead End
1 x deadleg(s) - located First Year 6 Classroom Dead End
Other Hot/Cold Outlets
Annually - All hot and cold water locations - take temperatures at a representative selection of other points
(intermediate outlets of single pipe systems and tertiary loops in circulating systems) to confirm HWS are at a
minimum of 50°C (55 °C in healthcare premises) and CWDS are below 20°C to create a temperature profile of
the whole system over a defined time period.
