Internal controls must be carried out, in compliance with quality procedures, according to management protocols and self-control. To this end, the person responsible for the business must prepare a risk assessment document, in which every phase that could prove to be critical in the management of the business is considered.<\/p>\n<p>The following principles must be considered in the document:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>analysis of potential health and hygiene hazards for the pool, with particular regard to the prevention of legionnaires&#8217; disease;<\/li>\n<li>analysis of potential safety hazards for visitors and bathers;<\/li>\n<li>identification of the points or phases where such hazards may occur and definition of the relevant preventive measures to be taken;<\/li>\n<li>identification of critical points and definition of critical limits for them;<\/li>\n<li>definition of the monitoring system;<\/li>\n<li>identification of prevention and protection actions as well as corrective actions;<\/li>\n<li>verifications of the plan and periodic review, including in relation to changes in initial conditions, risk analyses, critical points, and control and monitoring procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every year, and in any case prior to each reactivation of the pool, verification of the proper functioning of each type of system installed and, in particular, of the air and water treatment systems, must be carried out and documented. The person responsible for the business must ensure that the following procedures are applied, maintained and updated as provided for in the risk assessment document.<br \/>\nThe person responsible for the business must also keep the following documents available for the supervisory authority:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>register of controls, in accordance with Standard UNI10637;<\/li>\n<li>a register of technical-functional characteristics that contains the indications set out in specific annexes A and B.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the case where a remote control system is activated, the records can also be kept at the headquarters of the management company, as long as the content of the system can still be viewed at the plant. If, as a result of the above checks, the person responsible for the business finds values of the hygienic-sanitary parameters that do not comply with what is established in the annexes, he must identify the problem and restore optimal conditions. If the non-compliance detected could constitute a serious risk to health, the owner of the business, apart from taking the necessary precautionary measures, must promptly notify the Local Health Authority.<\/p>\n<p>The documentation relating to the activities carried out in the context of internal controls must be kept available to the Local Health Authority for a period of at least two years. The Local Health Authority carries out inspections, sampling and analyses on the tank water in order to verify compliance with the requirements of these regulations. These controls are carried out on the basis of the criteria set out in the specific Annexes, on the basis of specific control and supervision plans and in a manner and frequency that take into account the type of plants existing within the specific territorial areas, with particular attention to the critical points highlighted in the management and self-control protocols prepared by the owner of the activity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;QUADERNI PER LA SALUTE E LA SICUREZZA&#8221;
