The Legionella Management System provides facilities for your assessors to collect information remotely on a handheld device
Using LMS you can record information about water systems incorporating a cooling tower, water systems incorporating an evaporative condenser, hot and cold water systems and other plants and systems containing water which is likely to exceed 20°C and release a spray of aerosol during operations or maintenance
The system lets you identify high risk areas like cooling towers, evaporative condensers and hot and cold water systems
You can attach drawings to your assessment showing information about a water system, including all plant/equipment and components associated with that system, e.g., all associated pipe work, pumps, feed tanks, valves, showers, heat exchangers, quench tanks, chillers, etc.
For each potential source of risk the system helps you record information on the particular means by which exposure to legionella bacteria is to be prevented, or if prevention is not reasonably practicable, the particular means by which risk from exposure to legionella bacteria is to be controlled
For each assessment you can specify the risk level and a control measure, such as further assessment, should the risk be significant and likely to increase
LMS will provide you with a facility for viewing all identified risks, level of severity and control measures against the risks. Using the audit feature, you can review all historical assessments and changes
You can record information about the presence and numbers of people who may be exposed, especially on premises where occupants are particularly vulnerable
The system gives you opportunities to record information on site surveys for all the water systems. You can include an up-to-date drawings/diagrams showing the layout of the plant or system, including any parts temporarily out of use
Against each of the identified assets you can indicate which parts of the water system, for example, which specific equipment and services may pose a risk to employees or others
LMS gives you facility to publicise to employees that a legionella risk assessment has been performed to ensure that employees are well informed about the measures and actions taken to control risks
LMS lets you record information about the next assessment date
LMS will provide facilities to store information on who is responsible to implement the control measures and status of progress
LMS will give you facilities to record information about the people responsible for day-to-day control of any identified risks from legionella bacteria
