RISK ASSESSMENTS
|
|
|
An essential part of water quality and
environmental management programs is the assessment of
risk. Water Scientific can undertake risk assessments to outline the problem areas, and possible solutions to
ensure compliance with the regulations.
Water Scientific will discuss with a site representative all the areas which require
examination, and inspect these during a site tour. Possible areas where
deterioration in water quality may occur include :
-
cold water storage tanks
-
hot water calorifiers
-
domestic water outlets
-
water heaters
-
vending machines
- showers
-
softeners
-
water filters
-
cooling circuits
- all features where deterioration is likely
|
In each case we are trying to determine the level of risk by considering factors such as
water stagnation, temperature, use of non WRAS/ BS 6920 Approved materials,
aerosolisation potential, etc.
Tap outlet temperatures will be monitored especially at the near and far points of supply (i.e. the best and worst quality). Intermediate points will also be inspected. Near and far point inspection reveals the deterioration in water as water passes through
pipework.
While examining these an asset register will be created which will produce a report of the sizes, supply areas, lagging, labelling etc. This will become the appendix of the report and will be referred to in the body of the report. Also on the asset register, area schematics, will be created which will indicate valves, valve labels, general layout of tanks, calorifiers etc.
