WATER HYGIENE SERVICES

What Does Water Hygiene Involve?

This could be the implementation and monitoring of written control schemes after a risk assessment or general upgrade/ improvement of your water system. We can assist you in not only providing tried and tested methods of monitoring, cleaning, disinfection and refurbishment of water systems, but also in designing innovative engineered control measures to comply with relevant legal requirements.

What Are Your Legal Requirements?

Under COSHH Regulations 2002 and ACoP L8, employers have legal duty to prepare and manage a scheme for maintaining safe water quality. Paragraph 12 of ACoP L8 states, “As well as requiring risk assessments, they (Health &Safety at Work Act 1974 & Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999) also require employers to have access to competent help in applying the provisions of health and safety law”.

HSG274 is a three-part technical guidance document which further details the control measures that are required to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria in cooling water systems, domestic hot and cold water systems as well as other risk systems. Other legal statutes regarding water storage and supply include The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and The Water Byelaws 2000 (Scotland). Supporting guidelines are BS 8558.

Cold Stream Holiday Park

“We are incredibly impressed with the Remote Temperature Monitoring sensors recently installed by Total Environmental Compliance across our holiday park. The level of temperature data available on the dashboard—and the ability to drill down by timeframe and individual sensor—is exactly what we needed to manage legionella compliance effectively across our site. We no longer have to work around getting access to the holiday units each month, it’s all taken care of and our guests stay goes undisturbed.

Knowing that temperatures are being recorded automatically 24/7, and we receive regular notifications of any non-compliances, has taken a huge pressure off our site staff who previously carried out these checks manually.

One of the biggest benefits has been the reassurance around our cold-water storage tank, which feeds the holiday units. We’ve always had concerns about rising temperatures during warmer months, but now with a sensor installed, that worry is gone. We know our visitors at Coldstream are safe.

Samantha Manson, Remote Temperature Monitoring Co-Ordinator, delivered a clear, knowledgeable and thorough training session on the dashboard, and the installation was handled professionally and to a very high standard by Vinny Manson (Installation Engineer) and Adam Lawton (Account Manager).

I would absolutely recommend Total Environmental Compliance to any organisation or business looking for real-time compliance visibility and a proactive approach to mitigating legionella risk in water systems.”
