Legionella and Water Testing

For fast production of legionella risk assessment reports

Legionella testing and control companies work within a heavily regulated industry, where fast and accurate collection of data during inspections is critical. Electronic data collection and legionella control software such as eSquiggles, allows risk assessment information to be gathered quickly and accurately on PDAs. Levels of paperwork are dramatically reduced as field workers capture data electronically during inspections such as hot and cold water tank inspections, temperature measurements, water monitoring and testing. Gathering this data electronically rather than via paper based forms makes the full legionella testing process a much quicker one and ensures the accuracy of data being gathered. The potential for data to be retyped incorrectly is removed as eSquiggles allows risk assessment and other documentation to be populated automatically. More importantly, particularly in the current economic climate, data is collected and reports produced more cost effectively, which has proven to dramatically reduce operational overheads in many organisations.

L8: Approved Code of Practice

Organisations working within the areas of risk assessment, control and testing for Legionella bacteria work in accordance with the Health & Safety Executive’s L8 Approved Code of Practice. Every commercial organisation in the UK with premises hosting members of the public is bound to perform a number of assessments to ensure it is free from infection. The L8 documentation provides guidance on complying with the legislation.

The use of eSquiggles for electronic data collection and the ability to report quickly and accurately on this data is a huge benefit in meeting the requirements of L8. Paper-based processes are simply too slow and pose too many risks in terms of data being lost or misinterpreted. These are the reasons why a large number of legionella risk management and testing organisations are using data collection software such as eSquiggles to improve these processes. The eSquiggles legionella control software is also assisting organisations to meet compliance with other legislation such as COSHH Regulations (2002).
