Purpose of the Scheme

The scheme aims to set a national standard for all elements of health screening and hygiene training.

This comprises:

• Successful completion of the health screening questionnaire
• Participation in the awareness training
• Successful completion of the National Water Hygiene test.

This will ensure that all companies train and test their employees to the same standard and allows anyone registered on the National Water Hygiene Scheme to move from one company to another without having to re-take a 'hygiene test'.

Once employees have successfully completed all three elements of the course, they will be registered on the EU Skills registration database (www.eusr.co.uk) and issued with a National Water Hygiene card, which is valid for 3 years.
