Water Safety Policy

11.1 As we must appoint a Responsible Person and a Deputy Responsible Person, they should both be trained, instructed, and informed to the same level and should assist in the frequent monitoring of written control schemes. Therefore, they should hold a relevant qualification such as the BOHS P901 - Management and control of building hot and cold-water services, Level 2 Award in Legionella Awareness (or equivalent), or Level 4 VRQ Diploma in Asset and Building Management. If they do not have these already, they will obtain them within 12 months of the approval of this policy.

11.2 Only suitably competent consultants and contractors, registered with the Legionella Control Association (or equivalent), will undertake LRAs, prepare written schemes of control and undertake works in respect of water safety and legionella control.

11.3 Only suitably competent consultants and contractors, registered with the Legionella Control Association (or equivalent), will undertake third party technical quality assurance checks.

11.4 We will check that our contractors hold the relevant qualifications and accreditations when we procure them, and thereafter on an annual basis; we will evidence these checks and each contractor's certification appropriately.
