Legionella risk assessments
October 1st 2007

AquaCare Water Hygiene Services has started work on a seven-year programme of Legionella risk assessments for the Ministry of Defence.

The programme involves more than 450 buildings at British Forces' installations across Cyprus, as well as the training of local staff.

As part of Defence Estates policy instruction 37/2--4, the Ministry of Defence is required to undertake Legionella risk assessments and reviews at all its establishments. Farrer Consulting won the contract to conduct these assessments and reviews across all MoD bases in Cyprus and called on the experience of its sister company, AquaCare Water Hygiene to audit the contract.

The company is ensuring that all British Forces' domestic water, process water and air/water systems in Cyprus comply with current UK water hygiene legislation, particularly the HSE's ACoP L8 and Water Supply (Fittings) Regulations, 1999. These risk assessments identify areas of concern and any remedial works necessary.
