Alternative Legionella Prevention Techniques

Learning targets

A Legionella infection in your drinking water installation is something you definitely want to avoid. With the right knowledge and skills, you can effectively prevent it. To combat Legionnaires' disease, the government has established regulations for managing drinking water installations, with thermal management being the primary approach. However, in some collective drinking water systems, high-temperature Legionella control may not be sufficiently effective. So, what alternative techniques can be used?

In our Alternative Legionella Prevention Techniques course, you will learn about  government regulations for applying alternative techniques. We will extensively cover ISSO publication 55.4, which provides guidance on this topic. Based on risk analysis and regulations, you will learn to select the most appropriate technique. Additionally, you will gain insight into the guidelines and conditions required to design and implement alternative Legionella control measures.

Are you looking to expand your knowledge of alternative techniques for combating Legionella bacteria? Then this is the perfect course for you!

The following topics will be covered:

• government policies on alternative Legionella prevention techniques
• control concepts: thermal, physical, photochemical, or (electro)chemical
• requirements for equipment using alternative techniques
• principles, applications, and variations of different thermal management methods
• physical and photochemical techniques: applications and variations
• electrochemical techniques: applications and variations
• additions to existing Legionella control plans, necessary for thermal management

After completing this course, you will have the following knowledge & skills:

• understand government guidelines for alternative Legionella prevention techniques
• apply different control concepts effectively
• select the most suitable technique based on risk analysis and regulations
• implement additional measures in a Legionella control plan

By the end of this course, you will be fully equipped to explore and implement alternative Legionella prevention techniques, ensuring safer drinking water installations.
