title: Proper training key to defeating Legionella.
abstract: The long-awaited report from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) into the Barrow Legionella outbreak has now been published and is in the public domain. Its conclusions and recommendations clearly recognise that the outbreak cannot, and should not, be attributed purely to one group or to the individuals working within one department. Moreover, the failings which contributed to the outbreak stretched from the lowest levels to the top of the council organisation. Develop Training's Tony Green explains how correct training can prevent future outbreaks.
