by Brianna Crandall — April 16, 2014—Legionella Control International has announced the launch of a legionella risk management software system, LegionellaSafe. The innovative electronic logbook is a state-of-the-art, user-friendly software solution that delivers considerable management, regulatory compliance, safety performance and cost benefits to its users, says the company.
Combining smart, preemptive technology with meticulous organizational standards, LegionellaSafe is designed to provide an effective administrational system for health and safety professionals, facilities managers and other duty holders responsible for overseeing legionella and Legionnaires’ disease-related safety standards in any organization, from single property portfolios to complex, multi-faceted facilities such as hospitals.
Acting as a direct replacement for traditional paper-based legionella log books, LegionellaSafe offers an intelligent and easy way to exercise control over the management process. The centralized electronic document management facility eliminates the need to store and continuously update paper records, instead providing a single and remotely accessible secure storage area, explains the company. The automated processes also deliver real-time organizational updates and reminders, ensuring that nothing is ignored and nothing is forgotten. The company notes that this is “hugely beneficial” to legionella risk managers, as negligence has the potential for damaging and disastrous results.
The “perceptive” legionella risk management software takes a proactive approach to controlling the problems caused by legionella bacteria, using data to instantly identify an array of issues including areas of increased risk, negative trends, non-compliance issues, track defects and remedial actions. The legionella software is also capable of processing data in order to issue benchmarks and compare performance of individual sites, facilities, staff and contractors. This offers an invaluable opportunity for managers to continuously monitor procedures and strive for improvement.
The electronic legionella logbook features fully encrypted, multi-level system security that allows for highly flexible use according to access level. This means management teams, staff and contractors alike can access logbook data instantly, saving time and money. Detailed user records are kept at all times, ensuring security and attribution of what was modified and why. The electronic nature of LegionellaSafe means it can remotely accessed via a secure online portal at any time for ease in managing and retrieving information.
Legionella Control International offers full user-training courses for the software, allowing users to make the most of the LegionellaSafe benefits. The legionella software is supported by a team of specialists dedicated to solving any user problems, issues or queries that may arise. Interested readers can book a free on-site demonstration of the automated legionella logbook or find more information on the Legionella Control International Web site.
