AEC undertook Legionella risk assessments on behalf of Hexagon Care’s supported residential accommodation properties. The extensive property portfolio incorporated a variety of dwelling types, ranging from small scale residential housing units to large purpose built and specially adapted properties inclusive of education facilities.   AEC were required to complete the programme of works within occupied sites, in line with  client stipulated timescales, whilst ensuring strict adherence to Hexagon Care’s established access policy.

In recognition of the requirement to remain flexible and considerate when working within residential settings particularly those occupied by young and potentially vulnerable residents,  AEC liaised directly Scheme Managers, Support Workers and Teachers to ensure our site-based activities were carried out in a sympathetic and discreet manner, with the overarching aim of minimising interruption to the daily activities of residents.

AEC’s highly skilled Legionella Consultants qualified to BOHS and City & Guilds Legionella Management standards, conducted Legionella risk assessments strictly in accordance with BS8580 and L8 ACOP regulations to over 40 properties within Hexagon Care’s national portfolio.  

Once completed, our consultants guided the compliance team through the risk assessment and highlighted the need for remedial actions and a programme of water hygiene monitoring  to be implemented at the properties.
