Legionella awareness training

What is Legionella training?

It is essential that business owners and staff members responsible for water safety understand their role and have the appropriate knowledge. Legionella awareness training teaches you about Legionella and how to manage the risk and stay compliant.

You need a specialist water compliance company to help you keep Legionella bacteria at a safe level. But you also need someone within the organisation who understands how to stay compliant and takes ownership.

Our courses are priced at £50 +VAT

Who is required to take Legionella training?

Staff members who are responsible for conducting risk assessments should take the training.

Anyone involved in on-going Legionella monitoring or those responsible for fulfilling a Legionella control plan and record keeping should undertake Legionella awareness training. The course is designed to equip you with the necessary understanding to monitor and fulfil compliance activity.

Who is responsible for arranging Legionella training courses?

As an employer, landlord, business owner or business leader, you need to assign responsibility for Legionella compliance and provide those involved with the relevant training.

ACoP L8 states that those responsible have the “ability, experience, instruction, information, training and resources to enable them to carry out their tasks competently and safely”. They need to know:

  • the risks presented by potential sources of legionella bacteria
  • measures to be adopted and precautions to be taken to protect the people concerned
  • measures to be taken to ensure the control measures remain effective

“The presentation was detailed without being too long-winded and was the right length to keep individuals’ attention.”
