RISK ASSESSMENT
The competent installer should be capable of assessing the risks associated with the
installation of the heating and hot water system in order to identify potential areas of risk,
and to then implement the necessary actions to avoid or control the identified risks.
The installer should undertake a FULL risk assessment of the whole system (i.e. heating and
hot water). If the installer does not feel they have the appropriate skills to undertake a risk
assessment then assistance from a professional consultant should be sought.
If the installation is not intended for a domestic house and is intended for a commercial or
industrial use (e.g. hospital, nursing home, factory, hotel, guest house, leisure centre etc.)
then contact CoolSky Technical Support Office for guidance and advice on correct design
solutions
