►Care Homes — vulnerable persons require minimum MEDIUM risk controls
►GP Surgeries & Dental Practices — CQC Regulation 15 compliance required
►Offices & Commercial Units — employer duty under COSHH 2002
►Hotels & Guest Houses — complex water systems with high occupant turnover
►Schools & Sports Facilities — shared showers and storage tanks
