This may include the need for a source water risk assessment, physical site inspection, exposure risk assessment, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) risk assessment and workshop, evaluation of Health Based Targets (HBTs) or water system evaluation and gap analysis. We have extensive experience in the assessment of drinking water systems from catchment to tap, the evaluation of current management practices (including documentation and procedures), and the identification of the associated improvement opportunities. All hazards and risks are consolidated into a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) risk register with proposed remedial actions and associated management strategies.

Ecosafe has the required experience in the drinking water industry as well as the fields of chemistry, microbiology and public health to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your raw water quality and your overall system to determine if your current treatment system is adequate. This includes an evaluation of the current treatment system Log Reduction Values (LRV’s) and management practices such as the identification and performance of the treatment system critical control points (CCP’s).

Ecosafe can assist with developing a system specific chlorine residual management plan to ensure the primary barrier for your system is maintained at optimal levels and to identify any areas which may potentially compromise the disinfection system.

In order to produce a comprehensive and robust Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) / Water Risk Management Plan (WRMP), a thorough Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) risk assessment needs to be conducted to ensure the relevant site specific potential hazards are identified and to provide the basis for the required management and control measures. The Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) is utilised to consolidate all the essential system specific information and highlight the key management processes required to effectively operate the drinking water system. The Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) is a working document and is designed to provide the foundation for effective drinking water management by addressing the 12 elements of the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. Furthermore, the Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) assists with ensuring the continuous operation of the system and provides the basis for the adherence and demonstration of compliance with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG 2011).

Ecosafe has the required experience to assist with the implementation of your site specific Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) / Water Risk Management Plan (WRMP). Implementation support may include Drinking Water Quality Awareness Training, Drinking Water System Auditing and reviews and/or the use of the a dedicated Drinking / Potable Water Compliance Tool.

Drinking water quality monitoring is essential to verify that your drinking water system is operating effectively and demonstrate the provision of safe drinking water to consumers, regulators and other stakeholders. It is not possible to monitor for all things at all times! Hence the design and implementation of a practical, robust and risk based drinking water quality sampling program is central to the overall drinking water quality management program. Ecosafe International can assist with the design, approval and implementation of a site specific drinking water quality sampling program. We have trained specialists able to assist with sampling program design, on-site sampling (all personnel suitably training in water quality sampling techniques), results interpretation and the associated reporting. Furthermore, Ecosafe is able to assist with an independent review of drinking water monitoring programs including the risk based streamlining of monitoring programs.

The implementation and demonstration of compliance with your site specific Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) / Water Safety Plan (WSP) / Water Risk Management Plan (WRMP) can often be a challenge. Ecosafe has partnered with Do Diligence to develop an innovative water quality compliance tool specifically designed to assist with the effective implementation of your management plan and the associated achievement and demonstration of compliance (including CCP performance).
