Intermediate Legionella Training -
This Legionella
training course has been developed as an intermediate
workshop based on the issues that surround Legionella
and Legionnaires’ disease, the management and
treatment of water systems, health and safety data management,
current UK legislation, good practice procedures and
a review of recent outbreaks. The course completes with
a short test of competence and discussion forum.

Prior to commencing this intermediate course delegates
must have a good basic knowledge of the subject.
Course Content
- Introduction.
- HSE video “An Introduction to the Control
of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems”.
This excellent video presentation examines the two
main risk systems associated with Legionella bacteria
- cooling towers and hot and cold water systems.
It explains how the risks from exposure to legionella
should be managed and controlled, by risk assessment;
treatment and control; monitoring; and cleaning
and disinfection; and is accompanied by a series
of audit checklists.
- The chemistry of water - level 2. Focusing in
more detail on the aspects of scale, corrosion,
suspended solids and microbiological activity associated
with water.
