Good water hygiene is essential to ensure that the water we all use and are exposed to remains clean and fit for use.  There are many reasons why water quality can deteriorate, and many different microbes can cause this to happen including Legionella, E. coli and Pseudomonas bacteria.

Safe water management systems

As building owners or managers, you have a legal and moral obligation to ensure that your water management systems are safe. Water hygiene compliance audits are a crucial part of managing that responsibility and safeguarding the health and well-being of staff and visitors. Non-compliance can lead to health hazards, fatalities, or even legal action against you or your organization.

Water Hygiene Compliance Audit

A water hygiene compliance audit is a comprehensive inspection and assessment of your buildings' water management system to ensure that it is safe and free from any potential hazards. They are your reassurance that your legal requirements are being met. Our teams measure the quality of your water supply to identify any risks to health. The audit also determines whether control systems are in place to prevent the growth and spread of harmful bacteria such as Legionella.
