The National Water Hygiene Scheme (Blue Card)
Take the National Water Hygiene (‘Blue Card’) training – a UK-wide certification developed with all water companies to ensure anyone working on clean water sites or networks understands and maintains essential water hygiene standards to protect public health.
About National Water Hygiene
All UK water companies require individuals entering 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, wells, springs, boreholes as well as working on the network of water mains and service pipes.
​
It’s not just water company employees. If you are working on a ‘Restricted Operation’ on behalf of a water company 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 issued with an National Water Hygiene EUSR photo ID card which because of its blue colour, it’s also known as the ‘Blue Card’.
