Legionella Awareness Training

Legionnaire’s disease is a really nasty form of pneumonia caused by a bacterium called Legionella. People can contract it from infected water sources and soil, breathing it into their lungs unknowingly, where it causes serious, sometimes fatal, damage. Legionella awareness training is an essential part of all school risk management and is vital for those who work in building management, design, and maintenance. In the UK, safety regulators expect people with responsibility for the control of legionella and Legionnaires’ disease to have the correct training so they can undertake their duties safely and effectively.

Learning outcomes:

Explain what Legionnaires’ disease is, what causes it and how to prevent it
Identify where Legionella risks can be found in schools
Recognise the duties of a responsible person in controlling Legionella
