Legionella Training Courses
Enviroteam delivers Legionella training courses for organisations responsible for managing water systems.
Our courses are designed to help Duty Holders, Responsible Persons and facilities teams understand their legal responsibilities and implement effective Legionella control measures.
Training can be delivered onsite across the UK and tailored to your building, systems and risk profile.
Why Legionella Training Matters
Legionella bacteria can develop in hot and cold water systems, posing a serious health risk if not properly controlled. UK law requires organisations to identify, assess and manage this risk through competent management, monitoring and documentation.
Training ensures that those responsible for water systems understand:
How Legionella grows and spreads
Their legal obligations
How to manage risk in practice
What records must be kept
How to respond to issues
