The Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease Awareness course provides essential knowledge for construction workers and industry professionals to identify, prevent, and manage risks associated with Legionella bacteria. Responsible for causing Legionnaires' disease, a severe respiratory illness, Legionella thrives in environments such as water systems and cooling towers often present on construction sites and other industrial settings.
Aligned with UK regulations and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, this course offers a comprehensive understanding of Legionella biology, its growth conditions, and transmission pathways. Participants will learn to identify high-risk areas, assess health implications, and implement effective control measures to reduce risks.
