Our Risk Assessments provide a working procedural document, which promotes responsible management of all on site water systems and the effective monitoring and control of the waterborne pathogen – Legionella

• Risk recognition / identification
• Risk control / mitigation management program
• Ensure resources are targeted on “high risk” areas
• And Risk review.

All Legionella Risk Assessments, management plans and monitoring exercises are in line with the the U.K’s Approved Code of Practice & Guidance Document for the Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems, the “ACOP L8”, The British Standard BS 8580:2012 Water Quality – Risk Assessments for  Legionella Control – Code of Practice, the South African Guidelines SANS 893 Legionnaires’ Disease – Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water (Part 1 – Risk management and Part 2 – The Control of Legionella in Water Systems) and the US document, Minimizing the Risk of Legionellosis Associated with Building Water Systems, the “ASHRAE Guideline 12-2000”.

Ecosafe has developed a Legionella specific risk rating matrix, integrating the:

• Legionella Causation Chain
• Ecosafe’s extensive knowledge of Legionella bacteria
• Ecosafe’s extensive knowledge of Legionella management standards/guidelines
