WHY DO I NEED LEGIONELLA REMEDIAL WORK?

Anything identified during a Legionella Risk Assessment, annual audit or a routine inspection, that does not meet the required standards or guidelines, will be highlighted within an exception report. These exceptions will need to be addressed within a specified time frame. The urgency of each item will be ranked within the reports, to assist in the prioritisation of the works.

HOW LONG WILL THE LEGIONELLA REMEDIAL WORKS TAKE?

From the outset, our engineers will ensure that the legionella remedial works are carried out with minimal disruption to your business. Factors such as easy access to rooms and buildings will contribute to time spent on site, along with the amount of work that is required. If you’re after an estimated time frame contact our team to discuss!

WHAT DO I DO AFTER THE LEGIONELLA REMEDIAL WORKS?

Remedial works are usually identified as part of the recommendations within a Legionella Risk Assessment and must be completed to close the risk assessment off. Each remedial action will be undertaken to reduce the risk of Legionella proliferation to as low as reasonably practical (ALARP). Once the remedial actions have been completed the system must be regularly monitored to ensure the remedial measures put in place remain effective. Guidance for the monitoring can be found in the HSE guidance document HSG274 parts 1,2 & 3.
