Legionella risks understood and controlled
This legionella awareness training course covers what Legionella is, where it comes from, and how Legionnaires' disease affects people's health. Content includes case studies, signs and symptoms, the legislation and legal responsibilities, and the control processes used to prevent proliferation and manage the risk. The aim is that delegates working in environments where legionella proliferation and aerosol exposure are a risk understand the duty they are working to and the controls that keep it managed.
