Mackie Plumbing provides support for financially disadvantaged customers including offering senior discounts on labour.
MPG can provide planned and scheduled maintenance systems in line with manufacture and plumbing servicing requirements to ensure effective running of your Aged Care facility at minimal disruption to the residents, staff and visitors.
HOT WATER AND SCALDING RISK
Plumbing standards state water temperature should not exceed 45 degrees at the point of delivery for Aged Care facilities to avoid risk of scalding.
MPG offers ongoing maintenance, warm water regulators and hot water solutions in line with the specific plumbing regulatory requirements for Aged Care facilities to ensure full compliance for the safety of the residents.
LEGIONELLA RISK
Due to the requirement for warm water regulators in Aged Care facilities there is increased risk of legionella, as the water is prevented from reaching temperatures which would kill the bacteria. MPG can test and pasteurise the system to ensure ongoing compliance through regular monitoring and servicing.
COVID 19 AND AGED CARE FACILITIES
As we move towards a COVIDSafe Australia and physical distancing measures are eased around the country, special restrictions will remain in place for aged care facilities to protect older Australians.
