When an external audit threatened to shutdown production at a manufacturing facility, we delivered rapid, comprehensive Legionella compliance, saving the business from significant financial loss.
A manufacturing business faced an urgent compliance challenge. Following an audit, citing an inadequate Legionella risk assessment, a poor Legionella control scheme, and hazardous deadleg pipework within their water systems, the company had a strict four-week deadline to rectify issues regarding water safety. With only three weeks remaining when ClearFlow was contacted, the business was under immense pressure to avoid substantial financial losses and potential reputational damage.
How we helped
We responded immediately to the client’s critical situation. We began by conducting a thorough Legionella risk assessment, followed by the development and implementation of a comprehensive Legionella control scheme. Our team performed the initial service visit within a week, executing and documenting all necessary monitoring and maintenance tasks. To address the deadleg pipework, our qualified plumbers worked outside of normal operating hours over two weeks, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s production. The completed risk assessment was then reviewed, and all actions were documented and supported with evidence. ClearFlow personnel attended the final audit with the client, presenting the completed work. The auditor was satisfied with the progress and evidence, allowing the manufacturer to continue operations.
