Are you as a drinking water provider WHO Compliant ?

If not, we can help !

Water quality management, drinking water quality assurance, sustainability and raw water resource protection are key issues requiring serious endeavour globally.

The World Health Organisation has identified drinking water quality management as key to disease and illness prevention. Water can be a source of pathogens and toxins, in particular due to the presence of pathogens, chemicals and radioactivity.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) states: 
'The quality of drinking-water is a powerful environmental determinant of health. Assurance of drinking-water safety is a foundation for the prevention and control of waterborne diseases'.

Again, elsewhere the WHO states: 

'In 2004, the WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality recommended that water suppliers develop and implement "Water Safety Plans" (WSPs) in order to systematically assess and manage risks. Since this time, governments and regulators, water suppliers and practitioners have increasingly embraced this approach, but they have also requested further guidance.'

We can help your organisation to up-skill personnel to be in a position to be competent to comply with Water Safety Plan (WSP) to meet WHO requirements, through the implementation EN 15975-2; 2013 or otherwise.
