Highfield Level 2 Award in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (RQF)

Ensure learners have the required knowledge in this complex field!

The last few decades have seen high-profile outbreaks of diseases linked to cooling towers and evaporative condensers that have cost lives and resulted in prosecutions and changes to the law.

To help learners understand this often complex subject, we have developed the Highfield Level 2 Award in Legionella Awareness (Hot and Cold Water Systems) (RQF) to provide learners who work in environments when legionella is a risk.

The qualification will increase learners’ awareness of the subject in order to prevent waterborne diseases caused by legionella bacteria. It also provides learners with the knowledge and understanding of the health effects of Legionnaires’ disease, the control measures that should be in place to prevent it, plus the consequences for not complying with relevant legislation and codes of practice.


Topics Covered

  • Health risks associated with legionella bacteria
  • How legislation and codes of practice can support the management of legionella bacteria
  • How to control the risks of legionella bacteria
  • The risks associated with legionella bacteria in cooling towers and evaporative condensers
  • How to control the risks associated with legionella bacteria in cooling towers and evaporative condensers
