Legionella Awareness Training That Makes Sense in the Real World
Legionella bacteria can develop in poorly managed water systems, creating a potential health risk to people using or working within a building. Understanding how those risks arise is an important first step towards effective water hygiene.
Our online Legionella Awareness Training course explains the essential principles in straightforward language, using practical examples relevant to ordinary workplaces and buildings.
Whether you work in an office, school, nursery, care setting, commercial premises or property management, the course will help you understand why Legionella prevention matters and recognise the everyday factors that can influence water hygiene.
Developed by a Working Legionella Risk Assessor
One of the most important features of this course is the experience behind it.
The training has been developed by Paul Watchorn ASET, a qualified trainer and practising Legionella risk assessor with more than 30 years’ experience in inspection and compliance work.
Paul regularly assesses hot and cold water systems in working premises, helping businesses and property owners identify potential risks and understand the control measures relevant to their buildings.
That day-to-day experience informs the course content, making the training practical and relevant rather than simply a collection of definitions and regulations.
