Legionella risk management services in Galway

Legionella control is not a one-off job. It is a cycle of assessing the risk, putting controls in place, checking they work and reviewing them. We support Galway clients at every stage:

  • Legionella risk assessment: a full survey of your water system and a written control scheme.
  • Monitoring: temperature checks and flushing of little-used outlets.
  • Legionella sampling: laboratory testing to confirm your controls are working.
  • Tank cleaning and disinfection: removing the sediment and biofilm that bacteria feed on.
  • Annual review: national guidelines recommend the risk assessment is reviewed at least once a year.

Legionella risk assessments in Galway

Employers must assess and control the risk from legionella under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Biological Agents Regulations 2013. Our assessor inspects your storage tanks, water heaters, pipework and outlets, measures temperatures and looks for places where water sits still. Read more about our legionella risk assessments.

Seasonal buildings need particular care. Water left standing in a hotel wing, holiday let or student block over a quiet period can reach temperatures where legionella multiplies. We help you plan a safe reopening before guests or students return.

Legionella sampling in Galway

We collect water samples from agreed points in your system and send them to an independent accredited laboratory. Your report shows each result against the sample location, explains what it means and sets out any action needed. Nursing homes and other healthcare settings should plan for routine sampling at least twice a year, in line with national guidelines.

Fire risk assessments in Galway

If you control a premises other than a dwelling house, section 18(2) of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003 requires you to take all reasonable measures to guard against fire and to keep people on the premises safe. Our fire risk assessment gives you the evidence and the action plan.

We assess:

  • how a fire could start and spread in your building
  • whether alarms, emergency lighting and escape routes are adequate
  • the condition of fire doors and firefighting equipment
  • your fire safety register, staff training and evacuation drills

You receive a written report with each action ranked by priority. See our fire risk assessment page for more.

Flush the system, check temperatures and consider sampling before anyone uses the showers. We can carry this out for you.

Whenever there is a significant change to the building or how it is used. Many businesses also review it every year as good practice.
