What is the EUSR National Water Hygiene Course?
The National Water Hygiene training course is highly recognised by the UK water industry. The scheme plays a major role with promoting safe practices when working with drinking water and the protection of public health.
It is usually a requirement of water organisations across the UK for those entering a clean water site, or working on clean water utilities, to hold the EUSR National Water Hygiene qualification whether in direct contact with water or not.
The National Water Hygiene training protects the safety of water through good hygiene practices while working on restricted operations as defined in the technical guidance notes:
“Work which may involve direct or potential contact with untreated sources of underground water, with partially or fully treated water within water treatment works or with treated water, or any surface of an operational asset (including those temporarily out of use) which will itself be in contact with potable water at any stage in its distribution to the point where it is made available to consumers”.
