Legionella Awareness
Legionella bacteria causes a serious type of pneumonia called Legionnaires disease. The bacteria enters our system by inhaling it, mainly from water sources such as pools, hot tubs, water systems and more. This online Legionella Awareness training course is a great way to help reduce the risk of exposure to Legionella and legionnaires disease in the workplace.
Legionnaires’ disease presents symptoms that are often mistaken for the flu. It is essential to recognise these signs promptly to seek medical attention, as early detection can lead to effective treatment.
