Why is this training important?

Legal requirements

UK law requires you to control Legionella risks at work. This course helps you understand your legal duties.

You’ll learn about the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8), which covers how to manage water systems safely. We also cover key guidance from HSG274 Part 1 (cooling systems) and Part 2 (hot and cold water systems).

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, all workplaces must manage risks from Legionella bacteria. This training gives you the knowledge to meet those responsibilities.

To meet legal duties, dutyholders must:

(a) spot and assess any risk sources.

(b) if needed, create a written plan to control the risk.

(c) put safety steps in place, manage them, and check they work.
