Legionnaires Online Course
The Legionnaires’ Disease Awareness Online Training Course is a CPD-approved course for healthcare workers, facilities managers, and employers in the UK. It helps them learn about Legionnaires’ disease and how to prevent it in different places.
Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia (lung infection) caused by a bacteria called Legionella.
People can get it by breathing in small droplets of water that have the bacteria in them, often from things like air conditioning systems, hot tubs, or water fountains.
The course explains what Legionella bacteria is, how it spreads in water systems like showers or cooling towers, and the health risks, including serious lung infections. It teaches practical steps for checking risks, keeping water systems safe, and following UK laws like the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH guidelines.
This e-learning training course also provides information on the relevant legislation and requirements for compliance.
This training is perfect for those in charge of workplace safety. It helps participants spot risks and put in place measures to protect people.
