Ensure the safety of your water systems with Lucion. We offer precise microbiological sampling for compliance and risk management.
Legionella bacteria can cause serious illness like Legionnaires’ disease, which is a lung infection you can get from inhaling droplets of contaminated water in air conditioning systems, humidifiers, spa pools and hot tubs, and taps and showers that are not used often. To minimise the risk of legionella contamination, legionella sampling is crucial to gain precise assessments of water systems.
At Lucion, we offer a range of legionella and water services, including legionella water testing through our legionella and microbiological sampling service, as well as water compliance testing and water systems cleaning and disinfection.
Our expert legionella surveyors collect samples in bottles containing sodium thiosulphate, neutralising free chlorine for accurate readings. Detailed information, including location, temperature, time, and flush status, are recorded in our hazardous materials proprietary software NexGen, freely available for our clients.
Samples are promptly transported to a UKAS accredited hazardous materials laboratory, with analysis conducted within 48 hours. Our consultants can then advise you on the next course of action and help you mitigate risk with effective legionella risk management plans.
Our legionella and hazardous materials team advises on the necessity of sampling under various circumstances, including high-risk buildings, risk assessment findings, non-conformances, and suspected outbreaks.
Should you suspect a legionella outbreak, or if you work with a cold water system or in high-risk settings like hospitals and care homes, it is crucial to contact a legionella testing company like Lucion. Routine testing for the presence of legionella bacteria and ongoing monitoring for legionella is essential for the protection of people and planet.
We adhere to industry standards, including Approved Code Of Practice L8 (2013), Health and Safety Guidance 274 Part 1 – 3 (2013/14), and British Standard 8580-1:2019.
In accordance with BS 7592:2022, our legionella consultants work with you to develop a sampling plan. Discussing pre-flush and post-flush sampling ensures you and your team have a comprehensive understanding of local and systematic water system issues.
Safeguard your water systems, comply with regulations, and protect your community and environment with Lucion’s expert legionella water testing service as part of our legionella and microbiological sampling service.
