If you're the Responsible Person for legionella control at work, your role involves minimising the risk of contamination as well as raising awareness among your colleagues and peers. Legionella is a dangerous bacterium that can spread quickly and cause severe illness, so if you work with hot and cold-water systems, it's vital that correct health and safety regulations are followed and equipment is maintained to a high standard.
Most legionella contaminations are the result of poor maintenance and a lack of knowledge, so the Online Legionella Responsible Person Course (Remote Learning) aims to equip attendees with the skills and confidence needed to spot risks early and combat outbreaks effectively. Having gained practical knowledge with the Legionella Operative course, this course takes compliance and accountability a step further, giving you a deeper knowledge of the risks and allowing you to oversee the water system management of others. Since COSHH regulations underpin much of the legal framework covered here too, delegates wanting a broader technical grounding often pair this course with the COSHH Online Course.
This City & Guilds Accredited training is delivered in real time, so you can ask questions and interact with your trainers throughout the session. To comply with the approved Code of Practice, you'll need to have completed a relevant L8 Responsible Person course, which qualifies you to manage premises, occupants and water systems.
