Basic Legionella Management

Overview

What will you learn on the course?

This course explains the background to Legionella, the potential risks associated with water systems and how these can be prevented or controlled. It helps you to understand the risk that Legionella poses and helps you develop the systems and working practices you need to stay ahead. It gives you enough knowledge to get a Legionella control programme off the ground yourself – or make confident, informed choices when commissioning others to take this on for you.
Each module is followed by a short set of randomised questions; these tests must be completed before the course is completed.
