Why Consistency Matters

Why Consistency Matters in Legionella Compliance

When it comes to managing Legionella compliance across multiple facilities, consistency is key. At Dantek, we believe that assigning the same technicians, Operations Coordinator, and Salesperson to ongoing contracts offers significant advantages—not just in maintaining compliance, but in enhancing the overall quality of service.

Understanding of Your Sites

One of the main benefits of having the same technician regularly attend to your sites is the development of a deep understanding of your specific requirements. Our technicians become familiar with your facilities, which allows them to identify issues quickly, provide tailored advice, and ensure that compliance measures are implemented. This familiarity reduces the learning curve, leading to more efficient service and fewer disruptions.

Seamless Coordination and Communication

Assigning the same Operations Coordinator and Salespers on to your account ensures a seamless booking process and efficient handling of quotation requests. The Operations Coordinator, who is already familiar with your needs and timelines, can schedule visits and manage tasks without delays or misunderstandings. Similarly, the Salesperson, who understands your facility’s unique requirements, can provide accurate, prompt quotations and follow up on any additional needs you may have. This cohesive approach streamlines the entire process, allowing for a smoother, more predictable service experience.

Building Trust with FM Teams

Consistency also fosters stronger relationships between our technicians, Operations Coordinator, Salesperson, and your on-site teams. Over time, this trust becomes an invaluable asset, particularly in environments where safety and compliance are paramount. Our technicians, all of whom are DBS-checked and carry proper identification, become a reliable extension of your team, ensuring that Legionella management is handled with the utmost care and diligence. Meanwhile, the Operations Coordinator and Salesperson offer consistent points of contact, enhancing communication and ensuring that any concerns or requests are addressed promptly.

Enhanced Compliance and Service Quality

In an industry where compliance can never be compromised, the consistency of service is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. By ensuring that the same group of technicians, along with a dedicated Operations Coordinator and Salesperson, are assigned to your contracts, Dantek delivers a level of service that not only meets but exceeds expectations. This approach is part of our broader commitment to understanding, advising, and working together with FM companies to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

Additional Benefits

  • This consistent approach also provides added benefits such as:
  • Reduced Administrative Overhead: With a dedicated team in place, there’s less need for re-briefing or additional coordination, freeing up your resources.
  • Faster Response Times: Familiarity with your site and processes enables quicker issue resolution and more proactive management.
  • Improved Cost Efficiency: With fewer disruptions and a more streamlined service, you can expect better cost management and value for your investment.

By assigning the same team to your Legionella compliance, Dantek ensures that your facilities are not only compliant but that the process of maintaining that compliance is as smooth and efficient as possible.

L8 Lite Risk Assessments for property portfolios

Enhancing Legionella Compliance with L8 Lite Risk Assessments

Facilities management (FM) companies, maintaining compliance with Legionella control regulations is a critical responsibility. Ensuring the safety of water systems across a portfolio of properties requires meticulous attention, particularly in low-risk environments where a streamlined approach is both practical and cost-effective. This is where Dantek’s L8 Lite Risk Assessment service becomes invaluable.

What is the L8 Lite Risk Assessment?

The L8 Lite Risk Assessment is a specialized service designed by Dantek for FM companies managing multiple small sites, particularly in sectors like retail, hospitality, and public services. This service provides a simplified yet comprehensive evaluation of water systems in properties that are generally considered low-risk for Legionella proliferation.

Key Features of the L8 Lite Risk Assessment:

Asset Register: A detailed electronic asset register of all water-related assets within a property, complete with full-color photographs. This register ensures FM companies have clear visibility on water assets, which is crucial for ongoing management and compliance.

Condition Survey: The assessment evaluates the current condition of the water systems, checking for compliance with relevant standards, including the Water Fittings Regulations 1999 and ACoP L8 guidelines.

Remedial Actions: The L8 Lite includes full recommendations for remedial actions and monitoring tasks, ensuring any potential risks are addressed promptly.

Why Choose the L8 Lite Assessment?

The L8 Lite is not just a risk assessment; it’s a strategic tool for FM companies to manage their compliance obligations effectively.

Here’s why it’s trusted by leading companies across various sectors:

Cost-Effective Compliance: The L8 Lite is a low-cost option, ideal for operators of multiple small sites. It provides the necessary compliance documentation without the expense and detail required for higher-risk properties.

Expertise with a Light Touch: While it is a “lite” version, the assessment is carried out by fully qualified surveyors who is competent in identifying significant risks. This ensures that even the simplified approach does not compromise on safety.

Tailored for Low-Risk Sites: The L8 Lite is specifically designed for environments where the water systems are straightforward, such as those without complex plumbing or significant stored water. This makes it an excellent fit for retail outlets, small offices, and similar properties.

Actionable Insights: Each L8 Lite assessment comes with a written report, including an executive summary of concerns and site-specific recommendations. This enables FM companies to take swift, informed action to maintain compliance.

What You Don’t Get with L8 Lite

It’s important to note that the L8 Lite is a streamlined service, which means it doesn’t include certain elements that might be necessary for more complex or higher-risk sites:

  1. No Schematic Diagrams: For properties where the water system is simple, a detailed schematic is not provided, as it would offer minimal value.
  2. No ALARP Risk Score: The assessment does not include an ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) risk score. If significant risks are identified, a full Legionella Risk Assessment would be recommended.

The L8 Lite service has been successfully deployed across a variety of low-risk sites, including multiple retail chains and Public service outposts.

For FM companies managing varied portfolios, particularly those with numerous low-risk properties, the L8 Lite Risk Assessment offers a practical, cost-effective solution. By partnering with Dantek, FM companies can ensure they meet all necessary compliance standards while focusing resources where they are needed most.
