Where the risk assessment shows that there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of exposure to Legionella, measures should be taken to prevent or minimise such risks. The system can be managed effectively through acting on the recommendations for remedial work and by preparing a scheme to monitor the water system on a regular basis. The scheme should be implementLegionella Control, Legionella Managemented and properly managed as documented in the HSC Approved Code of Practice L8. 

Nemco Utilities individually design Legionella monitoring programmes to suit the needs of our clients and to ensure they comply with all current legislation. The service generally includes the following aspects;

• Production of a Management Scheme

• Schematic Drawings of Water Services

• Provision of Site Logbooks and Record Keeping

• Monthly Monitoring of Water Temperatures

• 6 Monthly Inspection of Cold Water Storage Cisterns

• Bacteriological Sampling and Analysis

At the end of each monitoring year, a risk assessment review is carried out and an annual report is produced detailing observations, recommendations and an up-to-date level of risk.

We understand that companies differ in their budget and staffing constraints. As such we are pleased to discuss options where the site staff take on as much of the routine work as possible, whilst the programme as a whole is managed and audited by Nemco Utilities
