Description
What’s covered
Companies and building owners have a legal obligation to manage Legionella, according to the Health and Safety at Work Act and the HSE’s updated code of practice known as L8. Lack of training and awareness have been highlighted as contributing factors in many recent outbreaks of Legionella.
This training course is designed to help all employers and employees recognise the threat that Legionella poses as well as how to recognise and evaluate sources of risk from Legionella on your premises.
This course provides the knowledge to enable you to start your own Legionella control program or make informed choices about employing others to do so with confidence. Having adequate training and carrying out appropriate checks can ensure water system safety.
The course is approved by CPD, IIRSM & Gatehouse Awards giving you peace of mind, and delegates increased confidence that the content is accurate and relevant.
