mmerse Training has responded to the release of the latest review of HTM 04-01: Safe water in healthcare premises, with a new one-day City & Guilds-accredited training course to address the DH requirement for all individuals working with healthcare water systems to undergo water hygiene training.
The new ‘Water Hygiene Training in healthcare building water systems’ course will benefit all staff involved with water systems in healthcare settings, including those responsible for housekeeping tasks such as outlet flushing and the cleaning of washhand basins, maintenance staff, and those who define strategy and develop procedures. It addresses all 15 topics in the HTM 04-01 Part B guidance, and aligns with Immerse’s ‘Awareness and Management of Water Safety Plans in building water systems’ training.
The courses have been developed by an AE (Water) with over 10 years’ experience in healthcare. Immerse Training (pictured is course administrator, Sue Dilworth), said: “Staff who undergo the training will be fully compliant with all legal requirements, and will thus be operating and maintaining safe, healthy water systems in healthcare premises.” Both courses can be delivered on site, and are ‘very competitively priced’.
