Water Treatment Risk Assessment
It is a legal requirement that all water services have a Legionella Risk Assessment carried out every two years.
The aim of these water risk assessments is to ensure practical compliance with the Health & Safety document "L8-The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems". To perform the risk assessment one of our trained and experienced assessors will visit your site, and perform a comprehensive survey of all water systems, from their source through to point of use, to ensure L8 compliance and the safety of you and your staff.
As part of the water risk assessment, a detailed report will then be issued, outlining safe operating procedures for equipment on site, testing programmes, sampling frequencies and a schematic drawing of all water systems.
Based on the level of risk shown by the assessment, Pennine Water Treatment Services may recommend a range of remedial actions, in order for you to comply with the law.
