Water Scalding Risk Assessments

Practical, room-by-room assessments for NHS and healthcare premises, combining outlet temperatures, TMV information, room use and supervision levels to identify and prioritise potential scalding risks.

A clear picture of scalding risk

Scalding risk is not determined by temperature alone. The type of outlet, the function of the room, the presence of a TMV and the likely level of patient supervision all need to be considered.

Our surveys bring these factors together in a structured and practical format for Estates and Water Safety teams.

Temperature testing Hot-water temperatures recorded at relevant outlets.

TMV verification Integral and external TMV information identified and cross-referenced.

Room use and supervision Clinical context considered alongside the engineering findings.

Clear reporting Registers, summaries and visual plans to support remedial action.

Our approach

Temperatures are recorded to verify safe operational limits and cross-referenced with the TMV database to maximise safety and proactively identify potential risks. Findings can be supplied as a structured asset register, departmental summary and annotated floor plan.
