Level 5 Award in Pollution Incident Management

Details

This course is aimed at Water and Wastewater managers, field managers, asset managers and others involved in meeting compliance within the Water industry.

As Wastewater Treatment compliance now comes under increasing regulatory scrutiny from OFWAT the overall ability of the Water Industry to effectively oversee and manage the Wastewater Treatment process comes under sharper focus. Demonstrating the competence of those responsible will likely become increasingly the focus of public awareness and form a key strand of the regulator’s investigation.
