A one-day, in-company course on controlling legionella bacteria in water systems, built around the HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 and the guidance in HSG274.
Legionella training gives delegates an understanding of how to control legionella bacteria in water systems: the legal duties, where the risk comes from, how to assess it, and the control, monitoring and management measures needed. KeyOstas delivers it as a one-day in-company course, built around the HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 and HSG274.
It is for the people responsible for water systems and the legionella risk.

Be aware of the legal duties to manage legionella bacteria.
