About The Online Legionella Training Course

In just 45 minutes, you can complete this RoSPA approved legionella training and receive your legionella certificate to ensure you are working to the best and safest practices.

Legionella bacteria is found in natural water sources such as lakes and rivers, as well as purpose-built water systems, and it can cause an illness known as legionnaires disease which is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.
Though cases of legionnaires' disease are rare, when it does occur, it has the potential to kill and can be extremely expensive to deal with and control.

To meet your obligations under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, you need to assess the Legionella risk in your water systems including hot and cold water, evaporative cooling and other plants. You must have a written scheme which describes what competent people are doing to manage the Legionella risks in the workplace.

Even if someone is tasked with simply running the taps once a week, they should understand why this could be a vital part of keeping people safe from legionella. This is where our legionella training course comes in.

It outlines typical water management tasks and helps employees understand why each task is important in reducing the risk of legionella. The legionella online course also looks at what happens when businesses do not safely manage their water systems, and how their role will break the chain of events that can lead to a death caused by Legionnaires' disease.

Please note: This e-learning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete the all round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
