Legionella Control Software
How does Legionella Control Software work?

LegionellaDossiers' LD-Control is an all-in-one digital logbook for all your buildings to help you maintain documents and perform tasks while remaining fully L8 and HSG274 compliant.

LD-Control consists of a smart app and a digital thermometer. This eliminates the need for manual measuring, recording and archiving of the control measures and an always up-to-date insight into legionella prevention output for the locations that use the digital management.

LD-Control makes paper logbooks are a thing of the past and legionella prevention can now be performed using a smart algorithm. This helps the duty holder work more efficiently and the organisation is always "in control" with regard to his legal obligations.

We provide you with real-time insights in your own management dashboards. This way you can now focus on other important activities and legionella management becomes an easier job. Legionella control becomes child's play

Who will own the information in the cloud?

You are the owner of the data in your own LegionellaDossier platform. Just like you are the owner of your walls at home when the painter paints it. Read more information about data ownership and other terms of service on our website.

Am I able to upload an old risk assessment or asset register and create a digital logbook from there?

Yes you are! If you want to create a digital logbook you can do this by uploading an old risk assessment, asset register or logbook. This is possible by putting the data, of said risk assessment/asset register/logbook, into an import sheet which is then read by our software. This generates a complete digital logbook for immediate use.

Do I need a lot of technical experience to use LegionellaDossier?

You don’t need to be a high-end technician to use LegionellaDossier. Anyone can create locations and assign tasks on our platform. Our LD-Control app even contains instruction on how to perform control measures — no extra skills are required. If you do find yourself needing some help, feel free to reach out to our support page.

Remote IoT sensors
Can external remote sensors be integrated with your system?

Yes, external remote IoT sensors, other than our own remote sensor Clip'R, are also able to integrate with LegionellaDossier. With our ‘open API’ you can integrate systems, such as hotel booking systems, IWMS, UKAS-accredited laboratories and many other systems used by our partners and their clients.

What do remote sensors measure?

Remote sensors continuously measure and record the water temperature and usage in your pipes and sends the date to your online LegionellaDossier environment. Sensors take all data from the past week/month, analyze it, report the measurement task as completed (if the requirements are met) and automatically checks off your tasks in your digital logbook. All without doing any manual labour!

If the sensors measure a non-compliance, it will be reported so to the responsible person can take action. This way you always have real-time insights in Legionella control and your logbook is always up-to-date.

Can I automate temperature readings in circulatory systems.

Circulation pipes are often difficult to reach; behind ceiling panels or in crawling spaces. With remote sensors, you only have to go there once every three years. Task executors often do not understand what things to read (which clock, which meter, etc.), so incorrect temperatures are often entered.

Remote sensors continuously measure and record the water temperature and usage in your pipes and sends the date to your online LegionellaDossier environment. Sensors  analyse, report, and automatically check off tasks in your digital logbook. All without doing any manual labour.

This way you always have real-time insights in Legionella control, you don't have to visit locations to do temperature readings and your logbook is always up-to-date.

Legionella Risk Assessment Software
Can I use my own templates or does everybody have the same risk assessment in the end?

You can use your own templates if you want! With our system you are free to make amendments in the way of making/generating Risk Assessment reports. This way the reports are always bespoke with your own corporate identity.

Do I have to be a member of the LCA to use this?

You don't have to be an LCA member to become a partner.

Does the risk assessment, generated from LegionellaDossier, comply with the LCA, L8 and HSG274 guidelines?
