HERE TO HELP
Compliance with health and safety legislation and associated guidance is a fundamental aspect of successful water and air hygiene control. Our team of experienced assessors perform complete Legionella Risk Assessments as required by the Health and Safety Executive L8 (2013), associated Technical Guidance HSG 274 parts 1, 2 and 3.
These assessments cover domestic/open evaporative and process systems and audit existing management control regimes.
Aquatech’s team of trained assessors provide site survey and risk assessment to all relevant Health and Safety legislation, Technical Guidance Notices, and industry best practice. Risk assessments include the production of high-quality CAD schematics to assist with the implementation of the required control scheme.
IDENTIFY & ASSESS
Identification and assessment of risk are the starting points for any successful Legionella management and water treatment regime.
Our Legionella Risk Assessments:
- Identify the hazards
- Consider who might be harmed and how
- Evaluate the risk and recommend precautions
- Record the findings and recommend a scheme to implement improvements
- Set up criteria for reviewing and updating the assessment
- Ensure that our client is made aware:
- Of any Legionella risks under their responsibility
- How these can be eliminated
- How any remaining risks can be managed
- How the efficacy of the written scheme can be addressed
- How non-conformances are actioned, including the degree of response, time frame and acceptable outcomes
Aquatech auditing of site records.
Auditing can be performed at defined frequencies and offers positive feedback on the client’s written control scheme and monitoring records. Auditing can be invaluable in identifying potential weak links in the control scheme and can help to eliminate the possibility of enforcement by external control bodies.
