Continuous, evidenced oversight of your water hygiene regime across every site.
Relying on manual clipboard checks and handheld temperature probes to manage Legionella risk creates a number of vulnerabilities within a company. It places the burden of walking an entire facility to check every recording point on the shoulders of high paid maintenance engineers who would be better suited to performing critical maintenance and repairs.
Ongoing system behaviour is not logged by manual checks, the water temperature is only recorded at the point the probe is inserted. This can lead to a serious issue being missed, simply because the test was taken at one of the few times when the temperature level was acceptable.
Manual checks open the door for human error too. This can be due to the misreading of a dial, guessing a check to save time due to inspection fatigue, or entries becoming illegible due to a wet clipboard.
All of these challenges can combine to create compliance gaps that leave you liable and at risk of facing severe regulatory penalties.
Rather than treating water safety as an isolated, manual maintenance task, Drax integrates remote water monitoring sensors directly into its centralised digital frameworks alongside active fire systems and passive assets. This eliminates the need for manual walks by introducing IoT sensors that continuously monitor water temperatures 24/7. It also monitors system behaviour to instantly identify real-time temperature drops. Nothing gets missed. The moment a line falls out of its safety threshold, the system triggers an automated alert to the facilities team, allowing them to act before bacteria can take hold.
Every temperature reading and system exception is automatically compiled into an unalterable, time-stamped digital record. By capturing data straight from the infrastructure, the system provides property operators with a clean, secure audit trail that can be produced for safety inspectors and insurance underwriters at a moment's notice.
On top of temperature monitoring, our solution can detect actual water flow and usage patterns in areas with stagnant water flow. It monitors if taps have been successfully flushed for their legally required windows. If a pipe sits stagnant for too long, it flags a warning on the dashboard, telling teams precisely which outlet requires attention.
This proactive ‘always on’ approach helps to protect your people from harm and protect the board from liability.
A controlled, evidenced position on a serious health-and-safety liability. Legionella incidents carry significant legal, reputational, and financial consequences. Drax provides the oversight layer that demonstrates a diligent regime was in place.
Oversight of the entire water hygiene regime without manual log-chasing across multiple sites. Exceptions come to you; you don't go looking for them.
Clear tasks and exceptions. Focus attention where readings and alerts direct it, rather than conducting blanket checks across outlets that don't warrant it.
