Water Hygiene & Water Treatment Services for Industrial Facilities
Industrial sites present a very different water risk profile compared to offices or retail buildings. From manufacturing plants and processing facilities to distribution centres, engineering workshops and large-scale warehouses, water systems in industrial environments are often extensive, heavily used and operationally critical.
At L8 Protection, we deliver specialist Legionella control solutions designed specifically for industrial facilities across the UK. We understand the pressures of production schedules, health and safety standards, and regulatory oversight, and we ensure your water systems remain compliant without disrupting operations.
Whether you oversee a food production site, automotive plant, chemical facility, logistics hub or heavy engineering workshop, we help you meet your responsibilities under ACOP L8, HSG274 and current UK water regulations.
Industrial Legionella Risk Assessments
Industrial water systems can include large storage tanks, process water systems, cooling systems, staff welfare facilities and complex pipework networks. These environments require a thorough and tailored legionella risk assessment.
Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive Legionella bacteria risk assessment of industrial hot and cold water systems
- Detailed water risk assessment aligned to your site’s operational processes
- Professional laboratory-backed Legionella testing
- Ongoing scheduled or reactive Legionella test services
In manufacturing plants, intermittent water use or rarely accessed outlets can create stagnation risks. In warehouses and distribution centres, fluctuating staffing levels may affect usage patterns. In food and beverage production, hygiene compliance is critical.
We assess how your facility operates day-to-day and develop a practical, risk-based strategy to strengthen your Legionella control programme.
You’ll receive a structured, easy-to-follow report outlining risk levels, compliance gaps and prioritised recommendations.
Temperature Monitoring Across Large-Scale Systems
Maintaining correct water temperatures is a core requirement of Legionella prevention, particularly in industrial environments with extensive pipe runs and multiple outlets.
Our services include:
- Routine water temperature testing across welfare areas and plant systems
- Compliance-led legionella testing of water temperatures
- Accurate and documented water temperature test checks
- Digital monitoring records are suitable for audits and inspections
We work around shift patterns and operational schedules to minimise disruption while ensuring your site remains compliant and fully documented.
Water Surveys & Asset Inspections for Industrial Sites
Industrial facilities often contain high-capacity cold water storage tanks, calorifiers, booster sets and specialist equipment. Regular inspection is essential to prevent contamination and system deterioration.
Our engineers provide:
- Detailed water survey services across operational and welfare areas
- Professional water tank inspection services
- Internal and external water tank inspection of industrial-scale tanks
- Specialist cold water storage tank inspection
- Full water heater inspection and calorifier checks
- End-to-end water inspection services across the entire system
We evaluate tank integrity, insulation, access covers, pipework configuration, overflow arrangements and signs of contamination. Where improvements are required, we provide clear remedial guidance aligned with ACOP L8 and industry best practice.
Supporting Industrial Water System Compliance & Documentation
Industrial duty holders must demonstrate effective water system compliance through clear documentation and evidence of ongoing control measures.
L8 Protection provides:
- Structured compliance reports aligned with water regulations in the UK
- Practical advice based on recognised water regulations and guide standards
- Documentation meeting statutory water regulations obligations
- Clear evidence of alignment with ACOP L8, HSG274 and COSHH
Our reports are suitable for internal audits, external inspections, insurance reviews and regulatory scrutiny, helping you demonstrate due diligence at every level.
Accredited Training for Site Managers & Engineering Teams
Effective Legionella management in industrial facilities relies on competent, informed personnel. We deliver accredited training designed specifically for:
- Site managers
- Health & safety officers
- Maintenance engineers
- Facilities and compliance teams
Training covers:
- Legal duties under ACOP L8
- Practical Legionella control in industrial settings
- Monitoring procedures and record keeping
- Risk awareness within complex water systems
Strengthening in-house knowledge reduces operational risk and supports a proactive compliance culture.
Industrial Compliance Under ACOP L8 & UK Legislation
Operators of manufacturing plants, processing facilities and distribution centres must comply with:
- ACOP L8 (Approved Code of Practice)
- HSG274 technical guidance
- The Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
- COSHH Regulations
- Current UK water regulations
L8 Protection acts as your compliance partner, ensuring that even in complex, large-scale industrial environments, your water safety management remains robust, documented and legally aligned.
Book Your Legionella Risk Assessment for Your Industrial Facility
If you are responsible for a manufacturing plant, warehouse, processing facility or industrial site, arranging a professional legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement, not an optional extra.
At L8 Protection, we provide practical, industry-specific assessments designed around your operational needs. Our experienced assessors identify risks, deliver clear recommendations and provide the documentation required to demonstrate effective Legionella control.
