This Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease Awareness Training course will help duty holders understand their legal responsibilities in relation to controlling legionella risks in man-made water systems, including evaporative cooling systems, hot and cold water systems, and other risk systems like spa pools. It explains the laws and regulations that apply to legionella, including the guidance contained in ACOP L8, the common risks posed by man-made water systems, how to carry out a risk assessment of legionella, and what control measures they may need to implement.
On completion of the course, you will understand what you need to do to minimise the risks of legionella bacteria in your water systems, so those who may be exposed to legionella risks are protected from harm.

This course is suitable for anyone in charge of premises (known as the duty holder) with water systems that could pose legionella risks, no matter how big or small the premises are, and regardless of the number of people present. This includes all employers, self-employed people, and anyone else in control of a premises, such as landlords and letting agents. It will explain what their legal duties are in relation to the water systems in their premises, how to carry out a risk assessment for legionella, and what control measures they may need to implement.
Examples of man-made water systems that duty holders may have in their premises include:
- Evaporative cooling systems.
- Dry and wet coolers or condensers.
- Hot and cold water systems, such as for taps and showers.
- Spa pools.
- Misting devices for food production.
- Emergency showers and face wash fountains.
- Sprinkler and hose reels.
- Vehicle washes including automatic washers.
- Wet scrubbers and gas scrubbers.
- Fountains and decorative water features.
The Health and Safety Executive's ACOP L8 provides an in-depth guide to how duty holders can comply with their legal duties. This training course is based on ACOP L8 and will cover each of the duties in more detail throughout the modules. It has also been written with consideration of the three HSG 274 documents that provide further guidance for specific man-made water systems, as well as the guidance document for spa pools. It is also suitable for landlords, who have an obligation to be aware of the dangers posed by legionella bacteria and to carry out a risk assessment, so they can keep their tenants safe from harm.
Taking this course will therefore help duty holders understand what to do to follow the guidance set out in ACOP L8 and where to find further advice for their specific water systems.
