Aqua Care Water Hygiene Services - offers a complete portfolio of on-site services, from initial risk assessments through remediation to planned maintenance, cleaning and disinfection programmes.
Whilst no major problems were found, some minor remedial plumbing works have been undertaken.
At quarterly progress meetings, AquaCare presented reports, explained and discussed their findings, and identified potential problems; a suitable forward action plan was prepared to implement appropriate control measures and any necessary remedial work.
While fire service facilities are generally considered to be low risk where Legionella is concerned, a thorough and responsible approach to water safety is still seen as essential, and AquaCare's service has given Dorset Fire and Rescue the specialist expertise and resources to fulfil their obligations both to their own staff and the general public.
