Course overview

We will discuss UK legal requirements and responsibilities with respect to Legionella, how monitoring of Legionella controls is carried out, and the significance of test results. The training provides an introduction to the control of Legionella bacteria in water systems and is suitable awareness training for any food manufacturing professional. It is particularly aimed at food manufacturing Technical and Quality personnel, who may seek to align their awareness of Legionella control with their own understanding of microbiology and safe operation of food processing equipment.

Note: This Legionella awareness training is not on its own sufficient for the needs of the Statutory Duty Holder, or persons appointed as the Responsible Person, though of course they may find it of interest. Individuals in the roles of Responsible Person or Duty Holder require a deeper understanding of legionella management, control measures, and legal responsibilities, so are advised to attend an advanced City & Guilds accredited course designed for the purpose.
