HVAC Risk Assessments

Due to the increased health and safety legislations including the introduction of the Health and Safety (workplace) 1992 Regulations 5 and 6 on Ventilation Systems and BS EN 15780 : 2011,

Many major insurance companies now require Heating Ventilation and Cooling Systems (HVACS) to undertake regular audited Risk Assessments and Testing by Qualified Assessors.

Essential Risk Assessments were set up as the need increased for both commercial ventilation and commercial kitchen extract systems to have a thorough risk assessment carried out by a fully qualified risk assessment officer.

Our risk assessment officers have been trained by AEME and have over 25 years experience and knowledge of the specialist cleaning sector and understand the importance of having a regular cleaning programme of an air supply system.

The Standards and procedures that we at Essential Risk Assessments adhere to are set out within the industry recognised documents The Heating Ventilation Contractors Association – HVCA TR/19 Guide to Good Practice Internal Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems and the new British Standard Institutions’ BS EN 15780 : 2011 Ventilation for buildings – Ductwork Cleanliness of ventilation systems.

The removal of this potentially harmful dust is becoming a must have service for Building & Facilities Management in order to maintain a healthy working environment for both staff and clients. If left untreated, bacteria and fungi can spread and cost businesses thousands of pounds in lost revenue, with sick pay, agency staff and the cost of overtime to cope with the staff absenteeism and leave.

All risk assessments are carried out by fully qualified risk assessment officers that have 25 years experience in the cleaning industry. Our risk assessment officers carry out testing, including dip side tests to determine whether there is fungi or bacteria present in the Ventilation –HVAC System and in order to show the accumulation of dust in the system the Industry recognised NADCA Dust test is then undertaken.

Essential Risk Assessments help you the client to comply with HVCA TR/19 Standard and the current British Standard BSEN 15780 : 2011
