If you own or occupy a commercial premises, then you are obliged to ensure that premises is safe to be used by staff and customers. While fire and health and safety are front of mind, legionella control measures can be forgotten. And ensuring your premises is safe from the effects of legionella bacteria will leave you complying with the law and safe from passing on sickness and potentially incurring fines. Legionella can grow in water in all commercial properties if it is give then right environment to thrive. Luckily, our team are experts in legionella prevention.
Exposure to legionella bacteria causes legionnaires’ disease. Legionnaires’ disease is a form of pneumonia that can have potentially lethal consequences. That is why legionella risk assessment and water testing is so vitally important to organisations and landlords.
Our service providers come to your business to assess the risk of illness. Control of legionella bacteria is key in ensuring the safety of your premises, and both water testing and risk assessment can provide you evidence that you’ve done your duty.
Direct365 have been working with small businesses for 20 years to keep them compliant with their safety responsibilities. And with our legionella risk assessment service, you’re getting a service provider that is LCA (legionella control association) accredited and available nationwide. For a reliable service from a company you can trust, choose Direct365.
We understand that if you are having the first legionella risk assessment on your property, you may be a little uncertain about what it entails. So here is a quick break down of how the assessment will work:
Please ensure you have your asset register and any previous years’ assessments to hand. If this is your first legionella test and you DON’T have a register, one should be completed. An asset register is a list of all assets within the water system. Legionella control measures can’t be put in place without an accurate register.
The assessor will use your asset register to ensure they are checking everything on your property that uses water. This is important because if one asset is missed, it could deem the assessment void. They will work through their legionella risk assessment check list and ensure you get a complete picture of risk.
Don’t worry about us getting in the way. Our assessor’s objective will always be to work around your current workflow, with a minimum level of intrusiveness.
Once the legionella risk assessment is complete, you will get a written record of the level of risk within your property. This will allow you to understand how you can improve water safety on your premises.
Water sampling allows you to prove you have taken the correct precautions to rule out contamination. This helps you adhere to legislation and keep employees or occupants safe on your premises.
Our sampling and testing service technicians will attend your premises and take water samples that are then tested at our purpose-built labs. You’ll then receive your results and will be on hand to answer any questions.
