LEGIONELLA MONITORING & MANAGEMENT
A key part of ACoP L8 is that following a legionella risk assessment, a legionella management plan must be put in place. Clearwater Services UK will work on the production of this plan with you and then ensure that it is implemented, regularly managed and monitored.
Our team is experienced in legionella management procedures so that a control system can be designed in full consultation with you. An example of such a control scheme is detailed below:
