Legionella risk assessment services involve a systematic evaluation of water systems to identify potential risks associated with Legionella bacteria. Legionella is a bacterium that can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia, and Pontiac fever, a milder illness. Legionella bacteria thrive in warm water environments, making cooling towers, hot water systems, and other water systems potential sources of contamination.

Here’s what you can expect from a FlowAqua Legionella risk assessment service:

• Site Inspection: Competent assessors visit client sites to inspect all water systems, including cooling towers, hot water systems, and other potential sources of Legionella contamination.
• Risk Identification: The assessors identify potential risk factors within the water systems. This includes assessing water temperatures, dead legs in piping, inadequate disinfection procedures, and other factors that could promote Legionella growth.
• Compliance Check: The assessment includes checking whether the client complies with relevant regulations and guidelines related to Legionella control.
• Documentation Review: Assessors review documentation related to the water systems, including maintenance records, water treatment protocols, and previous Legionella testing results.
• Risk Assessment Report: A comprehensive report is generated, detailing the findings of the assessment. The report includes information on the risk factors identified, water sample results, compliance status, and recommendations for mitigating identified risks.
• Recommendations: The report provides specific recommendations for controlling and mitigating Legionella risks. This may include adjusting water temperatures, implementing water treatment protocols, conducting system cleaning and disinfection, and improving maintenance practices. FlowAqua offer the services to implement the control measures that a risk assessment may be recommending.
