Our experienced team conducts detailed site surveys to identify potential Legionella hazards in your water systems. We assess all areas where water is stored or circulated, paying close attention to factors that can promote bacterial growth.
Survey features:
Accurate water sampling and laboratory analysis are essential components of our risk assessments. We collect water samples from various points in your system and analyse them for Legionella bacteria to determine the level of contamination.
Sampling services:
Following our site surveys and water analysis, we provide comprehensive risk assessment reports. These reports outline our findings, highlight areas of concern, and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate Legionella risks.
Report contents:
Based on our risk assessments, we develop customized action plans to address identified risks. Our recommendations are designed to control and prevent Legionella growth, ensuring the safety and compliance of your water systems.
Control measures:
Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially serious form of pneumonia. The bacteria are commonly found in man-made water systems, including hot and cold water systems, cooling towers, calorifiers and spa pools. Legionella thrives in stagnant water and temperatures between 20°C and 45°C, particularly where systems are poorly maintained or inadequately controlled.
Effective Legionella management and control is vital to prevent bacterial growth, reduce exposure risk and protect building occupants, staff and visitors.
