Water Safety: Technical Training - The Role of the Authorised Person [Operations] - Online

Course Overview

Our water safety training for Authorised Persons dealing with the operational aspects of minimising the risks from Legionnaires' Disease.

The training course is of vital interest for all individuals [typically referred to as the Authorised Person (AP)] who are operationally responsible for the management of water systems within the built environment i.e. managing the risk of Legionella.

The AP is required to be qualified, sufficiently experienced, and skilled to fully operate the service, including its maintenance. This role involves the maintenance of records, quality of service, and system safety (integrity). The AP oversees the routine testing of the water, storage, and distribution system.
