Course Content
This course will fill the following modules required in the Training Matrix of the Legionella Control Association: legislation and regulation - water testing and monitoring - interpretation and reporting of results - record keeping - assessment of records.
Recent changes in legislation and guidance issued in support of legislation have been numerous. By this time the industry will have absorbed the amendments to the Approved Code of Practice for the prevention of legionellosis and its accompanying guidance, but this is only one of the topics which must be taken into consideration when operating a water system safely. This safety has to take into consideration not only those on site, but also that of the general public. Many sites employ the services of contractors to take care of the water treatment, but the day-to-day operation of the plant will be the responsibility of site personnel.

Some of the topics covered will be:
Legislation and guidance; management responsibilities and duties; setting up a risk control system; meaningful sampling & testing; safe handling and disposal of chemicals; understanding water treatment service reports; monitoring, record keeping, validation and certification; service provider specification and selection.

Who should attend?
This course is aimed specifically at those who OPERATE and are RESPONSIBLE for water systems, to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation and safe operation of water systems. Those who attend the course will be site managers, senior management, facilities managers, and water treatment engineers, site engineers, facilities managers, and water treatment engineers.

WMSoc assessment
All delegates will be expected to complete a WMSoc Assessment. This will confirm understanding of the work completed during the day and complement the usual certificate of attendance.
