There are a large number of small sewage treatment plants of differing designs and ages across the country. The Environment Agency (EA) in England & Wales, SEPA in Scotland and EHS in Northern Ireland are showing increasing concern about the potential amount of pollution these plants could cause. One of the primary ways of preventing this pollution is to ensure that the plant is properly and correctly maintained. British Water has been working closely with the environmental regulators to develop a training and accreditation scheme for service engineers. The regulators regard this as an important step in the prevention of pollution.
Accreditation The training course is supported by a questionnaire which is independently assessed. Success in the questionnaire leads to accreditation, and the issue of the "Qualified Service Engineer" certificate and identity card. Accreditation is valid for three years, and illustrates that the engineer is skilled in servicing small sewage treatment plant.
Training Course British Water has worked with Develop - the leading training company in the UK water industry - to produce the training course. The course is of two days' duration and can be run at individual company premises, or a convenient nearby location or at one of Develop's own training centres.
