This course is designed for project managers in construction, facilities management and building maintenance who are responsible for ensuring safety and compliance throughout the project. It covers essential topics such as the health risks posed by Legionella, how the bacteria spreads and effective methods to control it.
Additionally, the course provides a comprehensive overview of the legislation associated with legionella, detailing legal responsibilities and the consequences of failing to adhere to these regulations.
Legionella bacteria are naturally present in soil and water, where they are usually harmless. However, when they enter man-made water systems—such as cooling towers, whirlpool spas and drinking or bathing water—they may find ideal conditions for rapid growth. In these environments, legionella can quickly become a serious health hazard, leading to illnesses like Legionnaires’ disease, a severe type of pneumonia, and Pontiac fever, a milder flu-like condition.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Legionnaires’ disease can be fatal, with mortality rates as high as 40 to 80% in immune-suppressed patients. According to the latest data, there were 285 confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease in the UK, according to Public Health England.
Given the severity of these risks, it is crucial for project managers to manage the risks and prevent outbreaks.
This course equips project managers with the knowledge needed to identify potential sources of legionella, understand how it spreads and implement control measures to prevent outbreaks. Taking this course also helps them understand relevant legislation and legal responsibilities to ensure that the projects are completed safely and in compliance with regulations.
As an employer or someone in charge of premises, you are responsible for the health and safety of workers and the public. To fulfil your duties, you must:
Key legislation outlining these responsibilities includes:
Understanding and adhering to these regulations is essential for preventing legionella outbreaks, ensuring the safety of all building occupants and avoiding legal repercussions.
