It provides a companion course to our Legionella and Water Safety eLearning course.

Legionella and Water Safety

Legionella awareness training

Legionella bacteria can cause a serious type of pneumonia (lung infection) called Legionnaires’ disease, as well as a mild flu-like illness called Pontiac fever. Legionella bacteria are found naturally in freshwater environments like lakes and streams, but become a health concern when they grow and spread in human-made building water systems like shower heads, hot tubs, hot water tanks and heaters, and large complex plumbing systems. 

Water safety and Legionella training is one of the most important aspects of workplace health and safety for any business.

Legionella online training courses

Legionella training courses

Our Legionella and water safety training courses look closely at the characteristics of Legionella and raises awareness of how the disease is caught and transmitted, particularly in close working quarters. 

They explore in detail what an employer’s legal responsibilities are when it comes to controlling Legionella bacteria and offers advice on how to achieve water safety in the workplace.

In addition, the courses also examine the effect lead can have on water safety since there are legal limits for the level of lead in drinking water too.

These detailed study courses are available off-the-shelf for ease of use and offer a flexible way for employees to receive Legionella training as they can be taken online, at any time. 

Legionella training online

Our courses are broken down into two or three modules (for our Advanced course) and learners are assessed via multiple choice questions about Legionella and water safety. Learners must achieve a mark of 80% of more to pass the assessment. 

Health and safety legislation in the UK places a duty of care on employers to protect people from the risks of exposure to Legionella by inspecting, maintaining and servicing water management systems in the workplace. Our courses will explain the risk assessment process, the roles of duty holders and responsible persons, and practical control measures that can be implemented in the workplace to prevent the spread of the disease.

Legionella Awareness Training FAQs

Legionella is a collective term that refers to the group of diseases caused by the Legionella bacteria in humans. The most serious of these diseases is a type of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease, but there are less-dangerous diseases such as Pontiac fever and Lochgoilhead fever to consider too. Legionella risk increases with age and health, and for people that smoke or drink heavily, but in reality everyone is susceptible to this potentially fatal bacteria.

The most-common sources of Legionella are in water systems that store or re-circulate water, but there are many work-place based items such as humidifiers, drinking water dispensers – even ornamental water features – that require Legionella risk assessments. Employers have a duty of care to understand and manage legionella risks and must comply with health and safety regulations when it comes to this matter.

The UK HSE have categorically stated that a lack of training, sub-standard communication and poor management are contributing factors in outbreaks of Legionnaire’s disease.

It follows, therefore, that those responsible for Legionella risk assessment and implementing a risk management policy for Legionella should be suitably trained in Legionella control measures themselves.

Employers have a duty of care to understand and manage Legionella risks and must comply with health and safety regulations when it comes to this matter.
