Legionella Awareness Training

Legionella training is an essential part of an organisation’s health and safety management, playing a vital role in protecting your employees, customers, contractors, and the public from illnesses such as Legionnaires’ disease. Developed by health and safety experts, our in-depth Legionella Awareness Training course provides all the knowledge needed to understand the risks of exposure to Legionella bacteria and the importance of risk assessments, written schemes, organisational responsibilities, and the regular monitoring and maintenance of water systems where these harmful bacteria may be found. 

This online Legionella Awareness training course provides those who maintain water management systems/are responsible for protecting employees against a potential Legionella outbreak in the workplace with the appropriate information and training.  

As a potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by the inhalation of Legionella bacteria, Legionnaire’s disease is prevalent to all when Legionella risk is not sufficiently managed and controlled, particularly those with such health conditions as diabetes, lung/heart/chronic respiratory and kidney diseases and impaired immune systems. Commonly found in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs, Legionella bacteria can also be found in purpose-built, manmade water systems such as cooling towers, evaporative condensers, hot and cold water systems and spa pools. 

Accordingly, those who are responsible for maintaining water systems within their organisation must be aware of the risks posed by Legionella and the associated symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease, using this knowledge to ensure that the systems are safe to use, regularly maintained and free from harmful bacteria.
