Audits and Inspections
Independent auditors provide another important safeguard in the management of cooling water systems, by ensuring that the occupier and DQP have complied with the requirements of the RMP and Regulation. Occupiers must engage an independent auditor to audit compliance with the NSW Health NSW Guidelines for Legionella Control in Cooling Water Systems 11 RMP and Regulation within each 12 month audit period. The audit must be completed within two months after the end of the audit period. The independent auditor provides a certificate of audit completion to the occupier, who must submit this certificate to the local government authority within 7 days.
