Exposure to Legionella can cause serious health issues. In many cases, it proves fatal. Water safety is a vital component of health and safety procedures.
Our Advanced Legionella course takes an in-depth look at what Legionella is and the risks associated with it. It covers who is at high risk, the importance of completing a risk assessment and what control measures can be used to mitigate the risks.
It provides a companion course to our Legionella and Water Safety eLearning course.
Our Advanced Legionella course is broken down into two modules and an assessment. These are:

Building on the knowledge gained in our Legionella and Water Safety course, Advanced Legionella further explores what Legionella is and exactly why it can be so dangerous. There is more than one strain of Legionella and they all have varying degrees of risk involved. Knowing about them equips employers to minimise these risks.
Over fifty outbreaks of legionnaires disease have been recorded worldwide since 1976, and hundreds of individual cases are recorded annually. This module explores the different strains of Legionella (including the most virulent, legionella pneumophila strain serogroup 1), the routes of infection and who is most at risk from Legionella-related illnesses.
Health and safety legislation in the UK places a duty of care on employers to protect people from the risk of exposure to Legionella and inspecting, maintaining and servicing water management systems. This module explores the risk assessment process, the roles of dutyholders and the responsible person, and control measures.
Learners are assessed via multiple-choice questions about Legionella and water safety. They must achieve a mark of 80% or above to pass.

Included Features
Legionella exposure is a global problem. Hundreds of cases are reported every year. The UK saw significant outbreaks in 1985, 2002 and 2015, all of which resulted in loss of life.
As Legionella exposure is a risk that can be successfully managed, it is important people responsible for premises, homes and workplaces are aware of their responsibilities to ensure water safety.
You prevent legionella in water by ensuring all water supplies, systems and equipment are properly maintained. Keeping water at the right temperature is important, as is preventing it from becoming stagnant. Regular inspections of all water systems are vital to make sure the risk of legionella exposure is low.
The dutyholder for Legionella is the person ultimately responsible for water safety. This could be the landlord of a property, the employer, a business owner or a building manager. The dutyholder must appoint a competent person to carry out risk assessments and look after the safety of water systems day-to-day.
You can get Legionnaires’ disease from a shower. As the disease can be caused by inhaling water droplets from contaminated sources, the spray caused by a shower is one way it is transmitted. To prevent this, showers should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, as should the attached water systems.
