Legionella Awareness for the Role of the Responsible Person(s)
Delegates should have sufficient authority and budget control, such as
Headteachers, Business Managers, Governors and those responsible for buildings. In addition to this, staff with responsibilities for implementing Legionella Monitoring tests (i.e. Site managers, caretakers etc) are also welcome to
accompany the responsible person(s).
Why senior personnel?
Because it is a requirement (under the Approved Code of Practice) that the appointed
responsible person has sufficient authority, competence and knowledge of the installation
to ensure that all operational procedures are carried out effectively and in a timely way. You cannot delegate your responsibility.

- Background information and introduction on the Legionella Bacteria and Legionnaires disease

Course length and cost:
- 1/2 day session
