Legionella Risk Assessment
Our Legionella Risk Assessments are fully compliant with the HSE guidance in ACOP-L8 - 'The control of legionella bacteria in water systems'. The technical guidance in HSG274 to BS8580 standards. There are at least 34 species of legionella which cause legionnaires’ disease. Legionella is widespread in natural water sources but can also live in man-made water systems such as those found in dental premises, offices and leisure facility premises with showers, spa pools, hairdressing and beauty salons, doctors surgeries, commercial and industrial and health-related sites with cooling towers and other water heating and storage facilities.
We supply businesses with consultant-managed analysis of risk. SBCS services include Legionella, Health & Safety, Disability Accessibility and Fire Risk assessments. All of our team are Enhanced DBS certified.
We assess businesses for compliance and evidence good practice. We recommend minimum procedures and solutions - in accordance with current legislation and relevant Government Agency guidelines.
We support businesses towards compliancy by applying industry-certified assessment systems, bearing recommendations, reports and recording/ planning for current and future risk management.
Our Health & Safety Risk Consultations and Assessments help your business to comply with UK Health and Safety Executive Law. Risk assessments allow you to prioritise and manage risk controls, which will reduce the risk of injury. SBCS consults with businesses to identify and prioritise action plans, detailing possible risk improvements and likelihoods of enforcement action being taken. A workplace risk assessment, including risk ratings by subject, is taken and a report summary of the key findings and conclusions is prepared for you.
Disability access audits pay great attention to 'reasonable adjustment requirements' suitable to both you, your customers and employees. We have proven that this approach will save your business money by recommending not only what is reasonably expected of you to comply with the previous Disability Discrimination Act 1995 but what best assists your disabled visitors and staff members within the new Equality Act 2010.
Fire Risk Assessments identify hazards that can be removed or reduced to protect your premises in the case of a fire. SBCS have created control standards for all identified fire hazards. Judgements for levels of compliance are made during the fire risk assessment. We compare existing control measures and assess their suitability. We help you identify the nature and extent of the fire precautions you need to take. We work with you to prepare a 'Fire Risk Survey Report'.
