Legionella Risk Assessments of all water systems, from domestic type office systems to large process systems in food factories and foundries etc. Water Hygiene Services Ltd provide a fully bespoke Legionella Risk Assessment and Legionella control program. A Legionella Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under both the Health & Safety at Work Act and the COSHH regulations. It allows you to assess the Legionella risk and control the exposure to Legionella and in doing so prevent the potentially fatal pneumonia, Legionellosis (Legionnaire’s Disease). Without a Legionella risk assessment, you run the risk of prosecution by the HSE, even if no-one actually contracts Legionnaire’s Disease. All Water Hygiene Services Ltd Risk Assessors will visit site and spend time examining all parts of the water system, including current management regimes, in order to produce a comprehensive report. Factors such as material of pipework, water turnover and the people likely to come into contact with the water system will all be examined in order to provide a comprehensive assessment of risk. Water Hygiene Service’s reports are fully site-specific and include details of current risk with a list of remedial actions required to reduce the current risk. They also contain a site-specific Legionella control schedule to allow ongoing management of the risks. ]]>
