When it comes to water safety in your facility, guessing isn’t an option. Are your residents, staff and visitors completely safe? These are important questions for any aged care facility responsible for maintaining a safe environment.
Under the Aged Care Act and current Legionella control guidelines, your facility needs to show proof of compliance, not just good intentions. Unmanaged water systems create real risks: Legionella growth in warm water systems, scalding at hot water outlets, and contaminated water flowing back through cross-connections. Bertram and Son manages all of this for you, backed by a digital compliance portal that gives you full visibility over your records.
Book a Compliance CheckManaging these services across multiple contractors can make it harder to keep track of testing schedules, create gaps in compliance records and increase costs. Bertram and Son handles all four critical water safety services through one dedicated team.
This provides a consistent approach to temperature monitoring, microbiological sampling, TMV testing and backflow prevention, while making it easier to keep track of what has been tested and when.
The work itself involves detailed checks. When testing a warm water TMV, technicians isolate the individual outlet and run water through a calibrated test rig until the reading stabilises. Technicians then adjust the valve to the required maximum temperature for aged care outlets, reseal it, and check it to confirm it is fully calibrated.
For aged care, the same focus on testing, documentation and ongoing management applies across the four services.
Proactive asset management helps address water safety risks before they become larger problems. Bertram and Son provides four key compliance services for aged care facilities:
Every asset, test result and report is recorded in our compliance portal in real time, so you always have current, audit-ready records without chasing paperwork.
Managing water safety and compliance in an aged care facility requires consistent testing, accurate records and a proactive approach to risk management. Bertram and Son brings these key requirements together through one dedicated team and digital compliance system.
With Bertram and Son, aged care facilities can manage their key water safety requirements through one team, one system and one consistent approach.
