If a risk of Legionella is identified in your workplace, a bespoke Legionella written scheme should be prepared on how to prevent or control it. The Legionella written scheme should give details on how to use and carry out the various control measures and water treatment regimes, including:
- The physical treatment programme – e.g. using temperature control for hot and cold water systems
- The chemical treatment programme, including a description of the manufacturer’s data on effectiveness, the concentrations and contact time required
- Health and safety information for storage, handling, use and disposal of chemicals.
- System control parameters (together with allowable tolerances); physical, chemical, and biological parameters, together with measurement methods and sampling locations, test frequencies and procedures for maintaining consistency
- Remedial measures to take in case the control limits are exceeded, including lines of communication
- Cleaning and disinfection procedures
- Emergency procedures

Testimonials
Venator
Historically, we have had LEV monitoring done by EEUK, but this was before I joined the company. Since I have been in this role, I have engaged EEUK to do fibre count monitoring on a kiln and we are planning a noise survey too. I have already received the RAMS pack for this job to review prior to the survey which is fabulous, I normally spend a large proportion of time when working with contractors trying to get this information.

We have been dealing with EEUK for around two years – we currently use them for our Exposure Monitoring and have found the onsite engineers have an excellent understanding of what we require. They also work around us, so there is as little disruption to production and staff as possible. Whatever we need, even at short notice, EEUK are there to help as quickly as possible.

NOVARES Peterlee Ltd
In the past we have struggled to find the right company to work with to carry out our Legionella risk assessments. However, since finding EEUK we have not looked back – they have great knowledge of the water treatment industry and provide excellent solutions with their technical expertise. They are an open and honest organisation which always put the customer first, providing a quality and efficient service that far outweighs the previous water treatment suppliers we’ve had.
