Gavin Harris, Head of Business Development at SMS Environmental, said: "We are introducing a pioneering new statutory compliance system which could help transform the way risk analyses are performed. Opuz’ ‘real-time’ analysis is a valuable and cost-effective tool that helps building managers comply with the law, and, very importantly, demonstrate that they are complying with the law." Positive feedback regarding OPUZ and Legionella ComplianceAn external auditor carried out an independent review of Legionella compliance for one of our clients. Some of his comments are listed below: Prior to the implementation of the OPUZ database, all evidence of the completion of control measures was as hard copy forms stored in the Legionella files at each site and limited monitoring was undertaken by the Company to ensure that all control measures were being actioned in accordance with the control schemes. The introduction of the OPUZ database enables the Company to monitor compliance with control schemes without having to visit all sites monthly and it is recommended that a process of regularly monitoring compliance with each control scheme is implemented. Details of the control scheme for the site are detailed in the database record for individual sites. (...) A review of a sample of database records revealed that the control schemes were on file for all sites reviewed. The operation of these control measures is now recorded on the OPUZ database with each activity being identified using a traffic light system.
