To prevent such disruptions, these facilities must ensure regular maintenance of their ventilation systems and water tanks. Compliance with industry standards, including BESA TR19 Air and TR19 Grease for ventilation, as well as the Legionella Control Association (LCA) guidelines for water safety, is essential for minimising risks and ensuring the safety of both passengers and staff.

Swiftclean works compliantly with health and safety teams to ensure site-specific risk assessments and permits are approved effectively and efficiently. Our teams have a vast array of qualifications, certifications and security passes so can easily gain accreditation for certain transport hubs, such as airports.

We provides legally compliant services in the following areas:

Legionella Control

Preventing an outbreak of Legionella is critical in high-traffic environments. An outbreak could lead to significant disruptions and financial repercussions, including partial or full facility shutdowns.

Kitchen Extract Fire Safety Cleaning

Non-compliant kitchen extract systems present a serious fire risk. Our specialised cleaning services help mitigate this danger, ensuring fire safety and regulatory compliance for the food services operating within your premises.

Ventilation Cleaning

Clean air is essential in enclosed, high-occupancy spaces like terminals and waiting areas. Our ventilation cleaning services help prevent the spread of germs, promoting a healthier environment for passengers and staff alike.

Fire Damper Testing

Fire dampers are vital passive fire protection devices. Regular function testing ensures they function as intended during emergencies, safeguarding both property and lives in crowded transit hubs.

    Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

    With large volumes of travellers and staff passing through daily, monitoring indoor air quality is crucial to maintaining a safe and healthy environment. Our air quality monitoring solutions help to ensure compliance with air quality standards and enhance passenger comfort.

    Your legal responsibilities

    Legionella control

    Water storage tanks are a breeding ground for Legionella bacteria and must be inspected and cleaned regularly, as required by ACoP L8.

    Legionnaires’ Disease can be fatal in approximately 12% of cases. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, requires employers to control the risk of micro-organisms which may cause infection or otherwise create a hazard to human health. The Health & Safety Commission publish an Approved Code of Practice, known as “L8 Legionnaires’ disease; the control of Legionella bacteria in water systems”. This gives practical advice on controlling this risk.

    Kitchen extract fire safety

    A fire risk assessment should document where kitchen extract systems are present and what should be done to control the risk as per Articles 8, 9 and 11 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The Order requires measures to reduce the risk of fire and the spread of fire on the premises. The BESA specification TR19® Grease gives industry guidance on suitable measures to assist in the control of these fire risks by effective management, monitoring and regular review of both grease levels and associated cleaning frequencies.

    Indoor Air Quality

    Poor indoor air quality is a relatively common occurrence and exposure to contaminants at significant levels can have wide-ranging short and long-term impacts on health and performance levels.

    There is a legal requirement to conduct appropriate air testing if your risk assessments carried out under The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations have identified that there are substances or activities occurring on site which pose specific health risks related to air quality.

    There is currently no specific legal requirement for routine monitoring of indoor air quality to be conducted in typical workplace environments (i.e. offices, schools, public buildings), however, The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations require under regulation 6, that building owners and managers ensure that enclosed workplaces are ventilated with fresh and purified air.

    Fire dampers

    Regular fire/smoke damper testing (known as function testing) as well as fire/smoke damper cleaning and maintenance is both a legal requirement and a critical part of building fire safety management.

    In accordance with BS 9999, all fire dampers should be function-tested, cleaned and maintained at least every year.

    Ventilation ductwork cleaning

    Regulation 6 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires every enclosed workspace to be ventilated by a sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air. Regulation 5 of the same regulations requires mechanical ventilation systems to be subject to a suitable system of maintenance and cleaned as appropriate.

    The BESA specification TR19® Air gives detailed guidance on a suitable system of maintenance for ventilation systems.
