Remedial Work

As noted above, risks have been identified and assessed and a scheme has been prepared for preventing or controlling those risks at each establishment. The reports by the Consultant include recommendations for improvements which the Property Service Team will consider and where necessary arrange the removal of or improvement to those parts of the installation that could harbour infection.

Remedial work will be prioritised within available budgets and actioned by the Property Service Team as detailed above in 3 Water Hygiene Procedures. Where work cannot be actioned, control measures (housekeeping) will need to be put in place. These control measures may include such things as the weekly running of taps or showers at the end of pipe runs that are infrequently used, in order to flush out stagnant water.

Any concerns about possible contamination or abnormal temperature readings not covered by any of the above should be made known to the Property Service Team as soon as they occur.
