This course has been designed to help raise awareness of Legionnaires' disease by explaining how outbreaks might occur, and highlighting water systems that have a potentially high risk of developing the Legionella bacterium. You may have heard about Legionnaires' disease or the Legionella bacterium, and it’s not something anyone wants to experience first-hand. On average there are approximately 200 to 250 reported cases of Legionnaires' disease each year in the UK, although many believe this total is generally underestimated. Contracting 'Legionella pneumophilia' bacteria can cause high fever and may become fatal in approximately 12% of cases. To prevent people from developing this disease, we need to know what it is and how to prevent it coming into contact with us. This legionella training module explains how outbreaks might occur, including how to identify which water systems have a potentially high risk of developing the Legionnella bacterium.
