**This is a Computer Based course**
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 via a Computer Based Learning Platform 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 practice.
