Water Risk Assessment - Training Course

MillennialHS · Post by **MillennialHS** » Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:28 am

Hi all,

I have recently moved organisations and part of my new role will be to carry out Water Risk Assessments.

My knowledge in this area is limited; having primarily only dealt with H&S and Fire Risk Assessments previously.

What training courses would you recommend I complete that would give me a better understanding of the requirements needed for a Water Risk Assessment?

Hi MillennialHS.

Welcome to HSfB. Good to have you aboard and with a question I cannot remember having been asked in here yet.

I just know our members in the know will respond when they have a moment.

Hi Millenial,

Google legionella courses in your area and see what it comes up with?
Here are a few pointers for you: -

In my own personal experience, I found the course I went on was excellent for theory and Legionella awareness etc., but left me woefully underprepared for the plumbing aspect. Without a mentor to explain what all of those pipes were, I'd have been hopelessly lost.

So perhaps I would recommend an introduction to domestic plumbing course of some sort, if this isn't covered by whatever H&S course you end up choosing.
