Legionella Awareness Course Overview

This course is ideal for those who are not directly involved with the operation and maintenance of water systems but still require an understanding of Legionella and the risk posed by this bacteria and what can be done to minimise the risk. 

 

In just 60 minutes, you'll gain valuable insights into the risks associated with legionella bacteria and learn how to identify warning signs. This online course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard your organisation and ensure a healthy environment for everyone.

 

Why is Legionella Awareness Training essential?

Legionnaires' disease can lead to long-term health issues and even fatalities.  As per legal requirements outlined in Section 50 of the HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) L8 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), it is essential that individuals responsible for preventing and controlling legionella within the workplace are competent, trained, and aware of their responsibilities.
