Why do I need to take Legionella Responsible Person Training?
The role of a responsible person is to manage the risk of legionella bacteria in water systems. Along with this, they must have a strong awareness of the dangers legionella bacteria can impose on individuals.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has guidelines that state the lack of safety training is a key factor of legionella outbreaks. Therefore, it is essential to have training in controlling the risks associated with managing water systems. As a result, to successfully follow the approved code of practice, you must complete an appropriate L8 Responsible Person Course.
By undertaking Legionella Responsible Person Training, you are offering proactive safety management for your premises and individuals associated.
