Ecosafe Int. partnered with WA Department of Health to manage water safety across major metropolitan hospitals. Our solutions included baseline water quality risk assessments, development of Facility Water Safety Plans, development and execution of verification monitoring programs, implementation of water compliance tool, independent results interpretation and reporting and other specialist consultation.
