TRAINING SERVICES Level 3 Legionella Control for Responsible Persons (RQF)

Level 3 Legionella Control for Responsible Persons (RQF)

You are required by UK Health and Safety regulators to have designated people in your company who are competent to undertake Legionella control responsibilities.

To do this, they may need extra job-specific training to ensure they understand the rules around water and air hygiene and have the knowledge to manage the measures required for control of Legionella and ventilation systems. Providing this training means you are complying with the expectations laid out in H&S regulations and meeting your responsibilities.

The Legionella Control for Responsible Persons course is aimed at those with managerial responsibility for Health and Safety, who have sufficient authority, competence and knowledge of water systems and water hygiene management to interpret regulations such as the Approved Code of Practice L8:2013 and HSG 274 parts 1-3.

It’s a Level 3 Award from Highfield Qualifications, one of the UK’s most recognised awarding organisations and a global leader in compliance qualifications.
