Legionella Compliance

A vital training session for councils to protect public health and meet legal duties.

Legionella bacteria pose a serious health risk, and local councils have a statutory duty to ensure water systems are managed safely to prevent outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease. This newly developed two-hour training course is designed specifically for councils, equipping officers and duty holders with the knowledge and practical guidance they need to comply with Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH 2002, and the Approved Code of Practice (L8) on Legionella Control.

Led by industry expert Dee Thornton, the session will cover:

• Legal responsibilities – What councils need to do to comply with UK law

• Understanding Legionella risks – Where it thrives and how outbreaks occur

• Risk assessment and monitoring – What you must check and record

• Myths vs facts – Common misconceptions about Legionella control

• Consequences of non-compliance – Fines, prosecutions, and liability

This course is essential for clerks, facilities managers, and councillors responsible for managing public buildings, allotments, community centres, and sports facilities. Don't let Legionella put your community at risk – ensure your council is fully compliant and prepared.
