About National Water Hygiene Scheme
All UK water companies require individuals working at clean water sites or working on the clean water network – known as ‘Restricted Operations’, to hold a National Water Hygiene EUSR registration.
​
‘Restricted Operations’ includes working on service reservoirs, water pumping stations, water treatment works, springs, boreholes as well as working on the distribution network of water mains and service pipes.
​
If you are working on a ‘Restricted Operation’ as a water company employee or on behalf of a water company as their subcontractor or other organisation, such as Self-Lay Organisation (SLOs) then you need a National Water Hygiene EUSR registration.
​
Once you have successfully completed your National Water Hygiene training and assessment, you will understand the vital part you play in maintaining clean and safe drinking water and protecting public health. You will be registered with EUSR, issued with a virtual National Water Hygiene EUSR card and can opt for a physical smart plastic card, which because of its blue colour, it’s also known as the ‘Blue Card’.
