Step 2: Investigation
Ecosafe International will conduct a detailed inspection of the entire system from entry to delivery, to determine possible causes of measured results and any potential for existing or future challenges or infrastructural deficiencies.
Step 3: Remediation
Ecosafe International will work with existing suppliers and advise on required corrective actions (such as removal of deadlegs, replacement, removal or addition of filters, disinfection procedures, maintenance and / or servicing frequencies, changes to the distribution network and other applicable corrective actions).
Step 4: Validation
Ecosafe International will conduct validation testing to confirm the effectiveness of remediation works, advise on further action/s if applicable and provide status of compliance with Tables 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 of AS 5369.
