National Water Hygiene - Remote Live
Course Description
The National Water Hygiene training scheme is a nationally recognised scheme for anyone working on, or adjacent to water supply installations known as ‘Restricted Operations’, meeting the requirements as set out by water supply companies and Water Supply Regulators across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The scheme sets out an individual’s duty of care to prevent contamination and maintain public health by applying UK Water Industry best practice approaches.
Course Aims
The course provides candidates with essential knowledge, understanding, and awareness of the potential hazards and risks which have the potential to impact the quality of drinking water when working on restricted operations sites and how to prevent these, following recognised industry hygiene standards.
Who Should Attend?
Any person working on restricted operations water sites, such as service reservoirs, water pumping stations, water treatment works, wells, springs, boreholes and those working on the water distribution network inclusive of water mains and service pipes must have a valid National Water Hygiene card.
A standard training programme is delivered to all direct employees of water companies, contractors, consultants, and designers to ensure consistent standards are met when working on drinking water supplies and to demonstrate competence in their understanding of safe water hygiene practices.
