Guardian Water Treatment has launched a new bespoke legionella awareness course for cooling tower operators, ideal for building and facilities managers and maintenance staff. Delivered on-site at a client’s
premises, training is tailored to the specific needs of a system and takes place over a three week timeframe, allowing candidates to utilise their learning straight away. Aimed at building maintenance
engineers who may have many duties in addition to checking cooling towers, the training is designed to get away from classroom-based lectures and give site staff hands-on guidance for their specific systems. Cooling towers are open circuit
systems and therefore particularly susceptible to legionella. Guardian Water Treatment’s training covers ACoP L8 legislation, cooling tower operation, weekly testing, and any site-specific requirements, offering everything needed for safe and efficient operations. Steven Booth, associate director
for Guardian Water Treatment, said: “As cooling towers are one of primary culprits when it comes to the spread of legionella bacteria, it’s essential
©
that those responsible for their upkeep and safe running understand the dangers and how to prevent them. ‘’Every cooling tower is different,
however, with varying operational and environmental factors affecting conditions. Because of these variables, we feel that a bespoke, site specific course is a far safer and more user- friendly option for businesses, allowing candidates to put theory into the practice of their day-to-day role straight away. “By revisiting the site, we can be
sure that when we sign-off a trainee as competent, they truly understand how to apply what they’ve been taught.” Guardian Water Treatment’s
bespoke cooling tower training is structured as follows: ■ Week 1: Overview of ACoP L8, including HSG274 Part 1 and site specific training on testing and inspection.
■ Week 2: Operation theory, site specific testing and inspection.
■ Week 3: Brief recap of test procedure and final competence sign off. Delivered on a one-to-one basis
by Guardian Water Treatment’s expert team, the candidate will

receive a certificate of competency on successful completion.
Managing indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important factor in building design, and Waterloo Air Products now offers ‘An Introduction to Air Distribution’. The new course covers the
principles of air distribution when using mixed flow, displacement and VAV (Variable Air Volume) systems. The day course is designed for
building service engineers, architects and building professionals, and delivers knowledge of which system to choose and how to calculate the air volume flow rate, based on heat load and temperature differential. The first training was run on 19
July from Waterloo’s headquarters in Aylesford, Kent. It kicked off with a classroom session, followed by lunch,
and then it was straight into the test lab. Roy Nutley, technical advisor at
Waterloo, commented: “It’s good to show people how it works in the test lab because it’s the hands-on experience that cements the theory. “After the lab, the group took a
tour of the factory to see different types of air terminal devices being made, as well as visiting the paint shop. A final classroom session to answer questions completed the training.” The training delivers practical
information to ensure the best indoor air quality. Waterloo offers open sessions for delegates from different companies, or a single company can book all eight places. In future, CIBSE members get the added advantage of using the course as part of their CPD accreditation.
