EUSR - NationAL Water Hygiene Training

EUSR - NATIONAL WATER HYGIENE

The National Water Hygiene scheme is standard UK water industry certification programme to ensure the protection of public health and promoting safe drinking water practices. It is a criminal offence to supply water unfit for human consumption.

AMP8 will require more than twice the number of qualified personnel to deliver the outputs required by Water Companies. Make sure your workforce is certified.

Any person working on a clean water site or "Restricted Operations area" at sites such as , water pumping stations, service reservoirs, water treatment works, wells, springs and boreholes or working on the network of water mains and service pipes must be in possession of an in date National Water Hygiene card.

The scheme consists of 4 modules covering awareness of safe water hygiene practices:

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

This a half a day course and can be delivered by a trainer or as a self paced e-learning package.Dates for trainer led courses can be found here

Water companies across the UK now mostly mandate the use of the National Water Hygiene card for anyone entering a clean water site or engaged in operations on the clean water network, whether in contact with the water or not.

It is increasingly expected that all those handling water for human consumption, including contractors, facilities management organisations, environmental health practitioners, water engineers, plumbers etc. also carry a 'Blue Card' to demonstrate competence and their understanding of safe water hygiene practice.
