Every Review Real and Verified

A Word Between Friends

Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

What Sets Us Apart

Why Take Your Legionella Course with Irish Health and Safety?

See why workers and companies in Ireland, in Dublin, Cork, Galway and further afield, pick Irish Health and Safety for legionella training.

Working life in Ireland fits naturally around the legionella training course at Irish Health and Safety. Certified, compliant people keep Irish workplaces moving, whether that means the cranes above Dublin, the pharma plants of Cork, medtech campuses in Galway, the manufacturing belt around Limerick or the farms, hotels, warehouses and hospitals of every county in between. Rather than surrendering a day to a classroom, learners in Ireland finish the full accredited training online in roughly 2 hours, from home or directly from the workplace.

When your certificate lands, local employers recognise it immediately: CPD Certified, RoSPA approved, HSA aligned training from a provider businesses in every county across Ireland already use. Thanks to the unique verification code on each certificate, checks take seconds whether your job sits in Dublin, Cork or Galway.

For companies, the free Employer Dashboard compresses a team rollout into a single afternoon: bulk registration, live progress and every legionella training certificate on one clean screen, with volume discounts applied automatically at checkout.

Site rounds, tenant calls, maintenance windows and a diary with no free afternoons: this legionella training course was designed for weeks like that. Lessons stream on any device, every pause holds your place, and installing software is never required. Real water systems and clear photographs turn the science of legionella, the five step risk assessment and the control measures into knowledge that comes back to you the next time you walk your own premises.

The content mirrors what Irish law asks of each duty holder: understanding how Legionnaires' disease travels, assessing the water systems under your control, and keeping the temperatures, flushing schedules and cleaning routines that protect people.

Whether one certificate for a new role or a rollout across a whole facilities team, the legionella training runs friction free from registration to certificate.

Multiply a classroom legionella session by everyone attending and the bill covers lost hours, travel and staff cover, and it still rarely suits the roster of a maintenance team keeping a building alive. Taking the legionella course online wipes those costs out. People certify at home or at work, at their own speed, from the minute they are enrolled.

Completions land in the manager's view in real time, and the complete training record can be shown to an auditor in seconds. With the automatic volume discounts included, this is the most economical accredited legionella training in Ireland.

Pricing stays straightforward: a single figure buys the full course, unlimited retakes and the instant legionella training certificate. Nothing more, ever.

Real rosters and fixed course dates rarely coexist. This self paced legionella course travels at your speed, pausing on any device and picking up precisely where you left off, whether before work, at lunch or on the way home.

A simple progress bar shows what remains of the legionella training and how near the certificate sits. Some finish in a single sitting, others across a handful of breaks, and both paths arrive at the identical certificate.

Assigned across a team, the course folds around each person's schedule without the work missing a step, one big reason Irish employers keep returning to Irish Health and Safety.

There is no queue and no processing delay. Passing the assessment generates the digital legionella training certificate immediately, aligned with Irish legislation and recognised throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.

It remains in your account for good, available to download again for audits, insurance renewals, tenancy handovers and job applications, and anyone can confirm it in seconds through its unique verification code.

To a duty holder, every certificate is dated proof that the people running the water systems are trained and competent, precisely what matters when an inspector or insurer asks.

Licensed, Chartered (CMIOSH) consultants who work with Irish health and safety law and Health and Safety Authority guidance every day wrote each module.

The detail proves it: the science of legionella shown through water systems people actually recognise, the risk assessment taught on the situations duty holders genuinely meet, from tired calorifiers to empty properties, and control measures explained the way they truly run on an Irish premises rather than as dry theory. Practical judgement threads through every lesson.

Everything is checked repeatedly against current legislation and the Code of Practice for the Prevention and Control of Legionellosis, so no part of the course goes stale.

Buildings never fully close, and neither does the platform. Start the legionella training after a late shift, carry on at lunch the next day and wrap up on a day off, in whatever shape your week takes.

Progress moves between devices automatically, so trading the phone for the laptop mid module costs you nothing. Night staff, part timers and weekend crews receive the identical premium experience.

Teams can return to the risk assessment module before an audit or the control measures module when a system changes, so the legionella course keeps proving its worth as a reference.

More than 683,000 learners across Ireland, the UK and Europe have certified with Irish Health and Safety, alongside a 97% pass rate and a 4.9 star average from verified Google reviews that we cannot edit or hide.

From Dublin to Cork, Galway to Limerick and Waterford to Belfast, this legionella training keeps Irish premises compliant and shields the people inside them from Legionnaires' disease.

Employers come back for a simple reason: tidy records, instant certificates and a support team that genuinely replies.

Any person or organisation in control of premises with water systems, because the law fixes the duty on whoever controls the risk. Duty holders must assess and control hazards such as legionella under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Chemical Agents Regulations 2001, and the Code of Practice for the Prevention and Control of Legionellosis points to trained, competent people as the means of doing it. The one strategy the law never excuses is waiting for somebody to fall ill.

Our real learners are facilities and maintenance managers, landlords and letting agents, hotel and leisure teams running spa pools and showers, care home and school managers, gym owners, and the employers and building owners answerable for all of them.

If people use your water systems, or those systems can send fine droplets into the air, this training belongs in your records, and our Irish support team will gladly help roll it out across every location.

Know the Basics

Legionella Procedures

The rules, the steps and the habits that keep the work safe, and the mistakes to avoid.

The procedure, step by step

  1. Know the system: a drawing that shows every tank, calorifier, outlet and dead leg.
  2. Flush little used outlets weekly: several minutes, hot and cold, without creating spray.
  3. Check temperatures monthly: at the calorifier and at the nearest and furthest outlets.
  4. Clean and descale shower heads quarterly: with hoses and spray taps.
  5. Record every check: in the log book, with the action taken when a reading is out of range.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

  • Turning the hot water down to save energy: a calorifier below 60°C is an incubator.
  • Forgetting unused rooms and outlets: a shower nobody uses is where the bacteria grow.
  • Treating the risk assessment as a one off: it is reviewed when the system or its use changes.
  • Recording nothing: without a log book there is no proof that the scheme is followed.

The temperatures that control legionella

  • Below 20°C: the bacteria survive but do not multiply.
  • 20°C to 45°C: they multiply, fastest at around body temperature.
  • Above 50°C: they begin to die.
  • At 60°C: most die within minutes.

Temperature control is the main defence in ordinary hot and cold water systems. Hot water is stored at 60°C or above and reaches at least 50°C at the outlets within one minute of running, or 55°C in healthcare premises. Cold water is stored and delivered below 20°C, within two minutes of running. Where water this hot could scald, thermostatic mixing valves are fitted close to the outlet.

Keep hot water hot

60°C in storage and at least 50°C at the outlet.

Keep cold water cold

below 20°C all the way to the tap.

Keep water moving

stagnation is what lets the bacteria multiply.

The accredited Legionella Course covers where legionella grows, how people are infected and how water systems are kept safe, in about an hour online, with a CPD certified certificate the moment you pass. Good practice lasts when it is taught properly. Enrol today and download the official certificate the moment you pass. If the course card shows a reduced price, it is a limited time offer.
