Scottish Water - DOMS (Modules 1 - 12)
Course Description
The Scottish Water Distribution Operations & Maintenance Strategy (DOMS) training course is a company scheme, created and owned by Scottish Water, relevant for everyone on Scottish Water clean water sites. The scheme was first launched in 2004 / 2005 and sets up the minimum standards and competencies which must be followed by all who complete the course.
**The SW DOMS training can be delivered separately or in combination with National Water Hygiene training on the same day**
Course Aims
The Scottish Water DOMS scheme has been produced to ensure everyone follows a consistent approach across the Scottish Water Region to safeguard public health and the water quality supplied to customers. By taking this consistent and structured approach to the operation and maintenance of water distribution assets, problems affecting water quality such as discolouration, microbiological failures, and issues with taste and odours will be avoided or reduced. The Scottish Water DOMS scheme builds upon the public health principles covered by the EUSR National Water Hygiene training scheme.
**The National Water Hygiene Scheme must be successfully completed before completing the Scottish Water DOMS training scheme**
Who Should Attend?
Scottish Water DOMS training and registration via EUSR is required for everyone who is working on, or adjacent to water distribution activities and assets known as ‘Restricted Operations’. This includes, but is not limited to all Scottish Water staff, operational personnel, contractors, consultants, alliance partners, framework suppliers, and utility connection providers.
