This course provides delegates with a comprehensive understanding of their legal responsibilities and compliance requirements as outlined in LegionnairesΓÇÖ Disease: Technical Guidance Part 1 ΓÇô The Control of Legionella Bacteria in Evaporative Cooling Systems. It is designed to equip delegates with the knowledge needed to ensure safe and compliant management of evaporative cooling systems in line with current legislation and best practice.

The assessment will be a multiple-choice test at the end of the session. Upon successful completion of the course, delegates will receive a City and Guilds Accredited Programme Certificate that will need renewing once 2 years have passed.

This course is intended for operatives and individuals with health and safety responsibilities for others in the workplace. It provides the knowledge and practical guidance needed to support compliance with legal duties related to legionella control.

Pre requisite:

All delegates must present a current Legionella Awareness Certificate (or recognised equivalent) to be eligible for this training.
