Awareness of Legionella Bacteria in Water Systems - self-paced
Course Description:

Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium called Legionella pneumophila, hereafter referred to as legionella. People catch Legionnaires' disease by inhaling small droplets of water suspended in the air which contain the bacteria.


Heads of Departments are responsible for managing the use of equipment connected to water systems, including appointing their own responsible person to help them manage the use of such water systems.
