Disinfection & Risk Assessment

There are two separate training and assessment programs relating to the disinfection of water systems; The Disinfection of Water Systems training course is designed for operatives who will carry out the disinfection process, while the Risk Assessment of Water Systems is designed for supervisors/managers who have a responsibility for the maintenance of and assessing the risk of Legionnella developing in water systems.

Both courses are designed to meet the requirements of the revised Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and Guidance: Legionnaire’s disease: The control of Legionnella bacteria in water systems , and in particular the disinfection of cold water supply systems. Neither course will cover specialized areas such as cooling towers, swimming pools nor spa pools, as these require more intensive training.

 

Disinfection Course:

The disinfection of cold water systems is work that can be carried out by competent plumbing operatives and the aim of the Disinfection of Water Systems course is to ensure operatives have the knowledge and skills to undertake the disinfection process.

The Disinfection of Water Systems training course also covers the actual disinfection process, including a practical examination on a purpose-built test rig by which the tutor can illustrate how disinfection should be carried out. Though the training is primarily aimed at practicing plumbing operatives who already have knowledge of hot and cold water systems, it will also be appropriate to water inspectors and others who are involved with the maintenance and management of a water system.

Risk Assessment Course:

The training manual Risk Assessment of Water Systems explains how to carry out a risk analysis of a hot and cold water system in residential accommodation and includes a logbook that will allow for the appropriate maintenance of the system.

This course is specifically designed for those who have responsibility for the maintenance of a water system to prevent the development of Legionnella.
