Risk control - Import export

The Water Hygiene Centre is recognised as a leading provider of water safety consultancy services. This is demonstrated by the fact that we are one of a small number of organisations who can deliver UKAS accredited Legionella risk assessment [LRA] methods; which comply with ‘BS 8580 Water quality. Risk assessments for Legionella control. Code of practice’. Identifying a company to carry out a water risk assessment should be relatively straightforward but how can you be sure that the service offered is fit for purpose & will help to discharge your legal obligations? The answer, increasingly, is accreditation. Our UKAS LRA's are accredited to ISO/IEC 17020:2012 & are compliant with the ACoP L8 & BS 8580. With this knowledge you can be confident that we have the technical expertise and management systems in place to undertake each legionnaires' risk assessment competently, professionally and impartially.

The audit process draws on the management requirements of the HSE's ACoP (L8) and HTM 04-01 & HTM 03-01 (where appropriate). If you are prosecuted for breach of health & safety law, and it is proved that you did not follow the relevant provisions of the Code, you will need to show that you have complied with the law in some other way or a Court will find you at fault.” A water safety audit is crucial to the development or refinement of any good risk management system & the control of Legionella. Our water hygiene audit will examine and verify the management systems you currently have in place & cover issues including: - Appointment of Responsible Persons' & associated staff - Roles, responsibilities & lines of communication - Risk assessment & re-assessment of compliance - Review of policy & procedures document(s) including records - Implementation of remedial works - Evidence of monitoring & performance of systems - Staff training
