Effectively managing Legionella risk.
If you have hot and cold water services, you likely have water storage tanks which can be a source of Legionella bacteria growth. The need for water tank cleaning and disinfection is determined by an inspection to check their condition. At Glacier Environmental Ltd, our knowledgeable, technically trained engineers can carry out inspections and water tank cleaning safely and effectively.
The risk from exposure to Legionella should be controlled by keeping the water system and water in it clean and free from nutrients, including those arising from contamination and corrosion; and maintaining its cleanliness.
HSG:274 Part 2 Technical Guidance , paragraph 2.126.
What’s involved during water tank cleaning?
Cleaning and disinfection involves the removal of contamination for a cold water storage tank or hot water calorifier.
A team of trained engineers will safely:
Drain the vessel
Remove debris
Clean the sides (where possible)
Disinfect and refresh with clean water
At Glacier, disinfection is carried out in accordance with the HSG:274 guidance from the Health and Safety Executive and the British Standard 8558.
