EUSR – National Water Hygiene

Course Content
The scheme is developed in collaboration with all UK water companies and key stakeholders from across the water industry, so you can be confident that the content covers all the required knowledge and awareness of good water hygiene practices:
There are four modules:
Module 1:            The importance of water
Module 2:            Water as a carrier of disease
Module 3:            Potential contamination and its consequences
Module 4:            Preventing contamination
Delivery is Face-to -face training  
Assessment
All NWH training is assessed through a multiple choice question test.  The test contains 25 questions.
Quality Assured Route to Registration - Face-to-face training
This is delivered by an approved trainer in person. All Trainers delivering National Water Hygiene must be approved by us and have appropriate and recent water industry experience and competence – as well as training or assessment qualifications and experience.  Our ongoing quality assurance, through monitoring and audits, ensures high quality training and a very positive learning experience.
EUSR Registration
Completing a National Water Hygiene training programme and assessment results in an EUSR registration for three years.
EUSR is the energy and utilities sector register for skills, training – and sometimes authorisations and qualifications.  Available online 24/7, it is used by employers, and individuals, to verify skills and training.
Registration on EUSR reduces duplication of training for those who work at more than one location – saving you and your employers, time and money.
Health Screening
A health screening questionnaire must be completed by all individuals prior to the training and assessment. In this questionnaire, you must declare whether you have, or have had in the preceding 12 months, any of these illnesses:
     Typhoid
     Paratyphoid
     Dysentery
     Persistent diarrhoea or vomiting
     Jaundice or Hepatitis (A or E)
     Prolonged unexplained fever
If you have, or have had, any of these illnesses, then you must get written confirmation from a medical practitioner, for example your GP, that you are illness and symptom free before you can be registered for National Water Hygiene on EUSR.
Re-Registration on EUSR
When your National Water Hygiene (“Blue Card”) EUSR registration has expired, you will need to renew it by re-taking the training and assessment, either face-to-face, e-Classroom, or e-Learning & e-Assessment – this will depend on whether you are directly employed by a water company and also the approval status of the Trainer.
