The course covers the following over 4 modules:

Module 1: The Importance of Water

Module 2: Water as a Carrier of Disease

Delegates will gain an understanding of how water can serve as a vector for the disease. An understanding of historical cases enables an understanding of the waterborne disease and the development of best practices. The module also explores various illnesses and diseases that can be contracted through the ingestion of contaminated water.

Module 3: Potential Contamination and Its Consequences

Explores the potential sources of water contamination across all areas of the UK water industry and the consequences should contamination occur.

Module 4: Preventing Contamination

Exploring the steps delegates take to prevent contamination of the clean water supply. Actions delegates can take to safeguard water quality, and provide specific examples of working practice which can be adopted in a small number of high-risk scenarios.

The assessment process for the eLearning course is the same as the classroom course. At the end of the online modules, you will complete an official multiple-choice knowledge assessment directly through the eLearning platform. Learners must pass a 25-question online assessment at the end to qualify for the EUSR registration.

You will also need to pass the health screening:

A EUSR health screening questionnaire must be completed by all individuals prior to the training and assessment. In this questionnaire, individuals must declare whether they have, or have had in the preceding 12 months, any of these illnesses:

– Typhoid
– Paratyphoid
– Dysentery
– Persistent diarrhoea or vomiting
– Jaundice or Hepatitis (A or E)
– Prolonged unexplained fever

If the individual has or has had any of these illnesses, medical clearance must be obtained before submitting an EUSR registration application.

Once passed, your results are automatically processed and submitted to the Energy & Utility Skills Register. Your official certification will be issued, and your physical EUSR National Water Hygiene Blue Card will be registered and dispatched, valid for 3 years.

You will need to pass the health screening to obtain your EUSR registration. There are no other health and safety courses that you must complete before enrolling on this course. The course is in English, so you will need a good level of written and spoken English to complete it successfully.
