Our Water Hygiene Training Courses

We provide a range of water hygiene training courses to suit different roles, responsibilities and learning needs within the water industry.

National Water Hygiene Training

Our national water hygiene training course covers the core principles required to work safely in clean water environments. It focuses on contamination prevention, hygiene responsibilities and best practice when working on or near potable water systems.

This course is suitable for:

• Contractors working on clean water networks
• Utilities and infrastructure workers
• Engineers, technicians and operatives
• Anyone requiring access to restricted clean water areas

EUSR Water Hygiene Training (Blue Card)

We deliver EUSR water hygiene training that meets the requirements for the EUSR National Water Hygiene Blue Card.

Learners complete the required assessment and, upon successful completion, are registered on the EUSR database. This certification is widely recognised across UK water companies and contractors as proof of competence to work within clean water environments.

Water Hygiene & Legionella Awareness Training

Understanding water hygiene goes hand-in-hand with understanding Legionella risk.

Our water hygiene legionella training provides additional awareness around:

• How water systems can harbour harmful bacteria
• Legal responsibilities of duty holders and responsible persons
• Risk control measures and monitoring
• How poor hygiene practices can increase Legionella risk

This is particularly valuable for facilities managers, maintenance teams and those responsible for building water systems.

Water Hygiene Software Training

For organisations using digital systems to manage compliance, we also provide water hygiene software training. This helps teams correctly record, monitor and manage water hygiene and legionella control documentation to maintain full audit trails and compliance.
