About the Basic Legionella Management Course 

Our Basic Legionella Management training course is ideal for anyone who works with water systems and needs to manage health and safety. The course is fully online and approved by RoSPA, making it easy to access and trusted by professionals. 

You’ll learn how to spot and control the risks linked to Legionella bacteria, which can grow in pipes, tanks, and other water systems. Whether you manage a building, rental property, or care facility, this course helps you stay compliant with UK safety laws and protect the people in your care. 

Why Legionella Management Matters 

Legionella pneumophila, the bacterium that causes Legionnaires’ disease, thrives in man-made water systems. If left unmanaged, it can lead to severe illness and even fatalities, especially in vulnerable populations. Under UK law, duty holders have a legal obligation to assess and manage this risk. 

This course supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH Regulations 2002, and ACoP L8 (the HSE's Approved Code of Practice for controlling Legionella).
