Legionella Risk Assessment surveys and reports have become the bedrock of the current water hygiene market. However the trend for the person responsible for appointing a company to undertake this on their behalf is thankfully moving away from a 'bottom line' driven decision. Approved Code of Practice and Guidance (L8) requires, under the Health and Safety at Work Act, that operational water systems should be risk assessed with regard to legionellosis however many companies employ inexperieced or target driven surveyors to undertake this aspect, leading to many instances of poor advice and a lack of value for money. The risk assessment should be carried out by a suitably qualified and experienced person and at Jordan Environmental Ltd. all of our surveyors have been qualified to a minimum of City and Guilds level with regard to this specialist activity. Additionally Jordan Environmental Ltd are audited members of the ‘Legionella Control Association’ as approved by the Water Management Society and BACS. This approval would therefore offer you a guarantee of contractor selection as required in the ACOP L8. |
