EUSR National Water Hygiene - Online Classroom

This course has one main objective: to provide attendees with an understanding of the vital part they can play in maintaining clean and safe drinking water – and as a result, protecting public health. The National Water Hygiene Scheme has been developed in collaboration with all of the UK’s water companies and equips attendees with a solid knowledge and awareness of good water hygiene practices.

Who Should Attend: 

All UK water companies require individuals entering clean water sites or working on the clean water network to hold a National Water Hygiene EUSR registration. The clean water network is also known as ‘Restricted Operations’, and covers:

• Service reservoirs
• Water pumping stations
• Water treatment works
• Wells
• Springs
• Boreholes
• The UK’s network of water mains and service pipes

Course Contents: 

The course has four modules, which are as follows:

• Module 1: The importance of water
• Module 2: Water as a carrier of disease
• Module 3: Potential contamination and its consequences
• Module 4: Preventing contamination
