Risk-Assessments
As buildings start to reopen after their plumbing systems have sat dormant or underused for weeks, workers are at risk of developing Legionnaires’ disease, a respiratory illness with symptoms similar to COVID-19 and pneumonia.
A Legionella risk assessment is an essential tool for getting water systems back running and reducing the risk to occupants and workers.
Legionella Risk Assessment & Testing will:
- Identify and assess the sources of risk.
- Prepare a scheme to prevent or control risk.
- Review water systems.
- Implement awareness training for workers.
- Manage and monitor precautionary measures.
