Benefits of ongoing training programmes in maintaining water systems
While numerous guidance documents highlight the necessity of training, specific regulations such as the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and COSHH Regulations mandate suitable and sufficient training.
Inadequate management, lack of training and poor communication can be contributory factors in outbreaks of legionnaires’ disease. It is important that those people involved in assessing risk and applying precautions are competent, trained, and aware of their responsibilities.
