We have built our business on the provision of a superior service that protects and gives our customers peace of mind. We provide a complete water management service.

Water treatment services:

• Bespoke design solutions• Unique water treatment facilities• Comprehensive in-house laboratory.

Legionella ACoP L8 risk assessmentA Legionella risk assessment lies at the centre of compliance with water management.

The HSE’s ACoP L8 requires that a Legionella risk assessment is completed for every building that is covered by the requirements of HASAWA 1974. This document should be reviewed or updated regularly. Stored water, drinking water, process water, closed systems and cooling towers are all covered within the ACoP L8.

To safely manage your water quality it is therefore vital that your water systems are properly assessed for their water quality risk.

Our experienced staff have a high level of knowledge and skill in identifying

Legionella hazards and the people potentially at risk. We will issue a full comprehensive report, allowing you to take the necessary steps to protect against

Legionella at your premises, ensuring safety and compliance with the more complex areas of legislation.

You’re in safe handsAs a business, under general health and safety law you must consider the risks from Legionella that may affect your employees or members of the public and take suitable precautions.

By law an employer, or a person in control of the premises (for example, a landlord), must:

• Identify and assess sources of risk

• Prepare a scheme (or course of action) for preventing or controlling the risk

• Implement and manage the scheme – appointing a person to be managerially responsible

• Keep records and check that what has been done is effective

• If appropriate, notify the local authority that you have a cooling tower(s) on site.*

Qualified service team

Awareness trainingInterserve believes that education and development of staff should be at the forefront of all businesses. We pride ourselves on the proactive approach and dynamic delivery style we use to support our clients.

We can deliver Legionella training in a variety of methods, including online interactive e-learning, classroom training and via a training academy. Our approach is simple and delivered in an enjoyable manner.

Online Legionella awareness

We can deliver a popular e-learning course for all of your employees. Our quality assured and interactive course provides

users with greater flexibility as staff can work in their own time and pace - your business will benefit from the reduction in time large groups of your employees are not performing their usual roles. You can easily track completion of the training and certification of your staff and the system also provides a free refresher 12 months after the original course was completed.

Classroom training

We can also deliver bespoke on-site Legionella awareness classroom training. It may be your employees already have some knowledge that needs to be tested by experts or that you need to show the responsible people within your organisation are fully competent to manage the risks.

This training can be delivered under our City and Guilds registration as an Accredited Training Centre if required.

Training academy

We have created a dedicated training academy that combines a fully fitted training area for groups up to 12 alongside a practical area that allows the trainer to demonstrate and the trainees to practise. This is an invaluable tool when presenting complicated installation and maintenance tasks, and is not available from any other water treatment company.

Ensuring your people have the tools to effectively mitigate the risk of Legionella

Control scheme managementLegionella monitoring

An integral part of the ACoP L8 requirement is the need for a business to undertake regular monitoring and checks on its water systems to ensure everything is operating within the guideline parameters.

On the issue of the 4th edition of ACoP L8, the majority of the guidance for controlling and monitoring water systems was separated into a HSE issued document entitled HSG 274. This document is published in 3 parts covering evaporative cooling systems, hot and cold water systems and other risk systems.
