The HSE's ACOP L8 requires that those involved in the control and prevention of Legionella bacteria are "competent". The need for regular training is identified in sections 50 & 51 of the ACOP L8. Why is regular training needed? Very simply, because things change. Official guidance is often updated and developed. Even if you use contractors you still need to understand the health & safety requirements for Legionella.
Being Trained Is Not Enough. You Need The Right Training
Our courses are have been indepentantly accredited by the CPD Group so you can be assured of the quality of the course.
