BASIC LEGIONELLA MANAGEMENT COURSE OVERVIEW
It is also a legal duty of the companies and building owners to manage
Legionella as stated in the current legislation set out by the Health and Safety
at Work Act along with the HSE's updated code of practice known as L8.
A proper Legionella risk management plan plays an important role in ensuring the
safety of both the employees and customers by preventing the growth of the
bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease. Although, many companies keep this
matter aside with utter ignorance considering the fact that it is a very
significant loophole compared to the rest of the risks at hand. But having
a Legionella risk management plan to mitigate the risk of a possible outbreak of
such infection will provide an incentive that you care about the health and
well-being of your employees and customers.
This extensive Legionella Awareness Training course is specifically aimed at
companies and building owners and the employees to assist them in recognising
the possible threats posed by the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease and
the most organic way to prevent and handle those threats. This Legionella
Awareness Training course is designed with several case studies to teach you the
basics of creating an effective Legionella risk assessment plan and control
measures to prevent and control the unfortunate casualties that can be caused by
the spread of Legionnaires' disease.
The Public Health England (PHE) stated that about 503 people were infected with
Legionnaires' Disease in 2019 in England and Wales with an average of almost 10
cases a week. Therefore, it should be one of the top priorities of every
business owner to implement Legionella risk management plans within the
premises that will help in creating a safer working environment for your
employees.
Upon successful completion of this Legionella Awareness Training course, you
will be able to identify the risks and hazards associated with Legionella in
your workplace and know how to carry out a risk assessment of your premises to
ensure the safety of your staff and customers.
