The starting point for any air hygiene work is a survey and risk assessment of the ventilation system or a building’s indoor environment. For most facilities, air hygiene surveys are required every 2 years (reference BS EN 15780:2011 Ventilation for buildings – Ductwork – Cleanliness of ventilation systems).
One of our experienced ventilation system surveyors will undertake a survey and risk assessment of the various ductwork systems and air handling units within your building. Following a thorough inspection, we will provide a condition report with recommendations for an appropriate maintenance regime, plus any associated remedial actions required. Your report can be used as part of an audit to demonstrate that a programme of inspection, and necessary cleaning of the ventilation system has taken place.
Some facilities with more demanding requirements for air cleanliness, including healthcare buildings, require air hygiene surveys every 12 months. We have significant experience of surveying and inspecting healthcare ventilation systems in accordance with the requirements of Health Technical Memorandum 03-01 – Specialised ventilation for healthcare premises.
