How is Legionella Risk Monitored?

Tailoring our monitoring and assessment frequency to your distinct water system, we ensure a precise fit for your needs. It’s crucial to note that the existence of water aerosols or spray creates an environment conducive to Legionella bacteria proliferation.

For businesses or organisations boasting features such as saunas, showers, or water storage tanks, the inherent risk level is heightened. As a response, these establishments demand more frequent and attentive checks, paired with vigilant Legionella monitoring. By adopting this proactive stance, we guarantee the adept management and mitigation of potential risks, providing a safeguard for both your valued employees and customers.

What will the Written Scheme of Control contain?

A Legionella Written Scheme of Control (WSC) is a documented plan that outlines a comprehensive strategy for managing and preventing the proliferation of Legionella bacteria in water systems. It is a crucial component of ensuring water safety and compliance with regulations. The WSC provides a structured approach to managing the risk of Legionella and Legionnaires’ disease within a specific facility or premises.
