The Health & Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice ACOP L8 requires that those involved in the control and prevention of Legionella bacteria are "competent". Even if you decide to use contractors to meet your health & safety obligations you still need to have an awareness of the requirements of the ACOP L8.
We offer two online CPD accredited Legionella training courses "Legionella Awareness" and "Legionella Awarness, Control and Prevention" for Duty Holders, Responsible Persons or for anyone who is in charge of premises or invovled in Legionella control and prevention measures.
Each course involves working through a series of modules and multiple choice questions which will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the course material. You have a maximum of 5 attempts at each test with a minimum pass score of 70%. Once complete you can download a course certificate which is valid for 2 years. Why 2 years? This is to reinforce the need for regular training as required by the HSE's ACOP L8.
