Legionella Risk Management, Inc. services

Legionella Risk Management provides engineering risk assessments for building and process water systems. Our assessments include a review of facility design, operation, maintenance and treatment programs to help facilities minimize the risk of problems related to waterborne pathogens and insure compliance with applicable guidelines and regulations. Present US Guidelines related to legionella control include:

An assessment is a first step in identifying the risk from water systems. The next step is implementation of processes to control the risk identified in the assessment. As an independent, third party consultant that does not provide chemicals or equipment our assessments and management plans are not directed at product sales. We are experts in development of water management plans following HACCP process to comply with Joint Commission, WHO, OSHA.CDC as well as State and local codes.

Whether the services be water treatment or lab testing the best solution is to utilize a third party not compensated on the volume of chemicals used or the amount of samples taken. We do not own or operate a laboratory. We used qualified expert laboratories that can supply reliable, timely and cost effective sample analysis for a wide range of tests.

Addressing an outbreak quickly with knowledgeable experts is critical to insuring the least amount of negative impact and costs. We provide expert engineering knowledge of systems and root causes related to outbreaks. We work with our customers to help them identify issues such as system design, operational practices, maintenance programs or events which caused or impacted the outbreak. Sometimes the root causes of legionella outbreaks are not confirmed to a certainty but in most cases we can identify major issues that impacted risk and liability.

Addressing an outbreak quickly with knowledgeable experts is critical to insuring the least amount of negative impact and costs. If an outbreak occurs you want to quickly clean the system, identify the root causes, and show the concerned employees, customers, insurance companies and media that you are taking quick and decisive action.

When an outbreak occurs the best thing to do is immediately bring in a knowledgeable expert that can manage the entire project including testing, disinfection, root cause analysis, problem resolution and long term monitoring. We have significant experience in remediation projects and offer the total range of services needed to remediate a legionella problem.

We provide independent audits of water systems and water treatment programs. An independent audit helps insure you are using the most cost effective methods to protect your equipment and personnel and that the cost of the program is appropriate. Quite often we hear comments from plant personnel that they are not sure if their program is appropriate or if the fee they are paying for water treatment services is fair.

Often facilities do not have the time or expertise to manage their HVAC, Process or Potable water treatment programs. Properly managed water treatment programs can save energy, save water, increase equipment life, reduce equipment downtime, reduce related manufactured product downtime, and improve environmental health & safety for employees and customers.
