Water is used in various ways in today's factories and offices and each use should be risk assessed as advocated by the Health and Safety Executive.

The HSE document L8, 'Legionnaires' Disease, The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, Approved Code of Practice and Guidance' outlines that in order to comply with their legal duties the owners of the premises should:

• Identify and assess sources of risk.
• Prepare a scheme for preventing and controlling the risk.
• Implement, manage and monitor precautions and control measures.
• Keep records of the precautions/control measures.
• Appoint a person to be managerially responsible.

The Risk Assessment forms the basis of a control scheme which is implemented and regularly reviewed to ensure its effectiveness. The control scheme will vary in complexity from site to site but our extensive services include:

• Risk assessment logbooks.
• Microbiological analysis of samples to UKAS accredited standards.
• Temperature profiling.
• System cleaning and disinfection.
• Remedial works to WRAS approved standards.
