These may be in addition to the inspections detailed above. Records of these tests should be kept. All fire dampers should be tested as part of the annual verification.

Almost everyone occasionally feels unwell because they are suffering from one or more common symptoms of discomfort such as headaches, dry throat or sore eyes. But there are occasions when, for no obvious reasons, people working in particular buildings experience these sorts of symptoms more often than is usual.
The symptoms tend to increase in severity with time spent in the building and improve over time or disappear away from the building. This is often described as Sick Building Syndrome.

A number of factors are believed to lead to SBS including:

• Poor ventilation‍
• Biological contaminants (bacteria, fungi & virus)‍
• Low humidity‍
• Airborne pollutants, such as dust, carpet fibres or mould spores

Aqua compliance services can offer full indoor air quality assessments & Monitoring including the below range of tests, covering parameters that can lead to poor air quality.

• Airborne bacterial levels ‍
• Airborne fungal levels
• Volatile organic compounds levels‍
• Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide‍
• Temperature, humidity‍
• Dust and particulate levels

Carrying out a legionella risk assessment and ensuring it remains up to date is required under health and safety law and is a key duty when managing the risk of exposure to legionella bacteria.

Aqua compliance services have experienced trained surveyors to undertake Legionella risk assessments of various types of water systems including domestic & cooling tower systems.

We can help you to assess and manage any highlighted risks and ensure that you comply with your legal requirements.  

Guidance followed:

• HSG 274 part 2
• BS 8580‑1 2019 Risk assessments for Legionella control

Aqua Compliance Services complete kitchen extract cleaning in accordance with the BESA specification, TR19®.

If not undertaken, fats, oil, & greasy (FOG) deposits and fibrous particles can accumulate in kitchen extract systems, reducing air flow efficiency producing a warm greasy environment for bacteria and cockroaches to breed. If not maintained to the correct standards this can quickly become afire risk and can be a major cause of the ignition and/or spread of fire in food production establishments.

It’s not widely known that the legal requirement with regard to ventilation system hygiene is that the systems are regularly inspected, and the findings recorded. This is a requirement laid down in the Health and Safety at Work Act and applies to owners and operators of workplace premises.

There has been a general acceptance that unclean ventilation system scan spread airborne infections in the workplace including flu and the common cold, resulting in an increase in sickness days taken in UK workplaces. Aqua Compliance Services can assist you in avoiding SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) We use advanced techniques of monitoring and cleaning of ventilation systems to keep your workplace working.

AHU cleaning has become a specialised area of care within ventilation systems. The coil is in the air flow path on all ventilation systems. Therefore, it has a direct effect on the rate of air flow, efficiency of heat transfer and indoor air quality.

At Aqua Compliance Services we use the most modern and thorough methods of AHU and coil cleaning to suit your system's requirements, from compressed air cleaning and brushing techniques to expandable eco foam cleaning and sanitizing products.
