The National Water Hygiene scheme has been developed at the request of Water UK, the body representing the water supply companies across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This course is for any person working on restricted operations sites such as service reservoirs, pumping stations, treatment works, wells, spring and boreholes and working on the network of water mains and service pipes as they are all required to be in possession of a National Water Hygiene card.
To ensure that all individuals are aware of the ways in which potable water could be contaminated
To ensure that individuals who work with potable water understand that it is their responsibility not to allow the water to become polluted
To ensure that individuals reach a nationally agreed level of training, testing and medical clearance
There are 3 elements to the course – trainer led presentation, completion of a Health Screening Questionnaire and successful completion of the National Water Hygiene multiple chose test
Cards are registered with EUSR and valid for 3 years.
Please Note
As of 14th February 2022 EUSR will no longer be issuing the traditional ID cards, it will be moving to a completely virtual system, as are a lot of governing bodies.
The new system will be a virtual card that will be sent via text or email to each delegate, all they will need to do is follow the link and their card will appear. However they will also still be able to use the "Register Search" via the EUSR website. Each delegate will now need to supply a phone number for the link to be sent to.
Candidates should be able to read, write and understand English as all documentation, presentations and examination paperwork will be English only
Candidates must provide a passport photo
