EUSR National Water Hygiene Card Course

Total Qual. Time

3-4 Hours

It is increasingly expected that all those handling water for human consumption carry a ‘Blue Card’ to demonstrate competence and their understanding of safe water hygiene practices. This applies to contractors, facilities management organisations, environmental health practitioners, water engineers, and plumbers.

Any person working in a restricted operations area must be in possession of a National Water Hygiene card. This includes sites such as service reservoirs, water pumping stations, water treatment works, wells, springs and boreholes or working on the network of water mains and service pipes.
