Lead Risk Assessor David Edwards spent a very cold week in February carrying out a Legionella Risk Assessment of every building on Herm Island in the Channel Islands. This included all the holiday accomodation, residential houses and the shop, pub and cafe. David spent the week living on the beautiful, tiny Island and needed to walk to all the buildings as there are no cars are permitted on Herm.
Dantek successfully carried out campus wide cleaning and disinfection program of cold water storage tanks at the University of Wales, Newport. The work included all the accomodation buildings and academic buildings.
Dantek use a disinfection system which allows for minimal disruption for residents and building users while ensuring the site is safe and compliant with current guidlines for legionella control.
The current ACoP L8 publication is in 2 parts. Part 1 is an ACoP and provides advice on complying with legal requirements concerning the risk from exposure to legionella bacteria. Part 2 provides technical guidance on the control of legionella in water systems.
The proposal is to revise Part 1 and to remove part 2, and make it available separately as a revised technical guidance. Both parts will be published by the end of 2013.
