A proper Legionella risk management plan plays an important role in ensuring the safety of both the employees and customers by preventing the growth of the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease. Although, many companies keep this matter aside with utter ignorance considering the fact that it is a very significant loophole compared to the rest of the risks at hand. But having a Legionella risk management plan to mitigate the risk of a possible outbreak of such infection will provide an incentive that you care about the health and well-being of your employees and customers.
This extensive Legionella Awareness Training course is specifically aimed at companies and building owners and the employees to assist them in recognising the possible threats posed by the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease and the most organic way to prevent and handle those threats. This Legionella Awareness Training course is designed with several case studies to teach you the basics of creating an effective Legionella risk assessment plan and control measures to prevent and control the unfortunate casualties that can be caused by the spread of Legionnaires' disease.
The Public Health England (PHE) stated that about 503 people were infected with Legionnaires' Disease in 2019 in England and Wales with an average of almost 10 cases a week. Therefore, it should be one of the top priorities of every business owner to implement Legionella risk management plans within the premises that will help in creating a safer working environment for your employees.
