Legionella management simplified and compliant

By NPS Group

04 Sep 2017

With so much information available it can be hard to understand your responsibility around compliance but with 250 cases of legionella still in the UK each year it’s time to explain it steps we all understand.

Why

Legionella bacteria are common in nature and can easily colonise in man-made environments such as hot and cold water distribution systems. Once bacteria has grown in the water system, inhalation of water vapour can lead to Legionnaires Disease.

With an estimated 250 cases in the UK each year, and approximately 18% of these resulting in fatalities, our water hygiene team provide you with the assurance that you are statutory compliant and that water hygiene risks are minimised.

Compliance

If achieving compliance internally or using a 3 party to ensure compliance once setup correctly the process is simple and should integrate into the general running of the building with minimum disruption.

Under general health and safety law, as an employer or person in control of a premises (e.g. a landlord), you have health and safety duties and need to take suitable precautions to prevent or control the risk of exposure to legionella.

Carrying out a risk assessment is your responsibility and will help you to establish any potential risks and implement measures to either eliminate or control risks. You may be competent to carry out the assessment yourself but, if not, you should ask someone with the necessary skills to conduct a risk assessment.

NPS Group

NPS Infinity builds on the vast experience of its parent company NPS Group. NPS has a wealth of experience in helping our clients understand their property assets and ensuring their property portfolio is preforming as it should. NPS Infinity has the capability to provide comprehensive water quality management services throughout the UK.

NPS Infinity is passionate and committed to keeping our customers water-safe and compliant and informed throughout every step of our delivery process enabling you to be fully aware of your own duties for your water systems under health and safety law and legislation. As well as Water Hygiene, NPS Infinity offer a full range of compliance requirements. Please visit www.Infinity.com for further information.

Fixed Prices

Our vast experience in the public sector shows that some of our clients worry about engaging with consultants due to concerns about spiralling costs. Similar to our work ethic and quality we want to separate ourselves from our competitors by offering fixed and transparent prices. This gives cost certainty and best value to the customer. Compliance could be from as little as £350.

Further Information on the above please contactKelly Dew on 07715802495 or [email protected]
