Water Risk Management

Effective water risk management is a critical health and safety obligation for any building owner or employer.

At Frankham Risk Management Services, we provide a comprehensive range of consultancy services to complement your water management needs, from mechanical engineers offering design solutions to specialist risk assessors.

Our approach is designed to ensure you meet your statutory obligations while maintaining the highest standards of occupant safety.

The Regulatory Landscape

Duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 extend to the risks from Legionella bacteria.

Furthermore, the COSHH Regulations and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) mandate specific procedures for controlling these risks. To remain compliant, organisations must:

Identify and assess sources of risk.
Establish suitable control measures to reduce those risks.
Implement and manage a formal control scheme and appoint a ‘Responsible Person’.
Maintain adequate records and regularly audit the effectiveness of the scheme.
