Barfield undertake Legionella Risk Assessments based on The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems Approved Codes of Practice and Guidance Notes (L8).

Legionella risk assessment guidelines were produced to assist engineers and facility managers in reducing conditions that may cause legionnaires disease. Particular areas of concern are cooling tower, tanks and water systems that may create aerosols.

Following a Barfield site survey a comprehensive, concise, easy reference report is produced, highlighting risk areas present and the remedial actions required. As part of the Legionella Risk Assessment the site management structures are also recorded ensuring that correct maintenance hygiene programmes and record keeping can be implemented. A schematic representation of systems are included where appropriate.

We also offer an ongoing water hygiene monitoring service to assess changing water conditions.
