Introducing Opuz ®

Providing new, ‘real-time’ risk analysis of water hygiene and Legionella bacteria

Opuz ® is an innovative, live software platform providing ‘real-time’ risk analysis of water hygiene and Legionella bacteria for the prevention of Legionnaires’ disease.

It can help building and estates managers meet their water hygiene legislative requirements through instant access to live information, ensuring peace of mind regarding statutory compliance.

Delivered by SMS Environmental Ltd, Opuz’ live data access enables a comprehensive overview and constant monitoring of facilities, properties, assets and maintenance activities. This facilitates real-time, live risk assessments which in turn result in quicker response times.

The integration capabilities of Opuz are unique. It connects a powerful database fed with integrated information gathered by managers and workers on PDAs or manually input, acting as an electronic logbook and live risk assessment. The software can give a total history on individual assets of all sizes from installation onwards.

Functionality reflects the industry’s 24/7 needs. Opuz is web-based on a highly secure site so is accessible wherever there is an internet connection. It is fully integrated with any PDA or Smartphone so is a proven mobile data-gathering system, and it can be integrated with organisations’ existing IT systems.

Positive feedback regarding OPUZ and Legionella Compliance

An external auditor carried out an independent review of Legionella compliance for one of our clients. Some of his comments are listed below:

Prior to the implementation of the OPUZ database, all evidence of the completion of control measures was as hard copy forms stored in the Legionella files at each site and limited monitoring was undertaken by the Company to ensure that all control measures were being actioned in accordance with the control schemes. The introduction of the OPUZ database enables the Company to monitor compliance with control schemes without having to visit all sites monthly and it is recommended that a process of regularly monitoring compliance with each control scheme is implemented.

Details of the control scheme for the site are detailed in the database record for individual sites. (...) A review of a sample of database records revealed that the control schemes were on file for all sites reviewed.

The operation of these control measures is now recorded on the OPUZ database with each activity being identified using a traffic light system.
