These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 59 topics.
You're filling a bowser from a standpipe and the end of the hose is lying in the water at the bottom of the excavation. The supervisor looks at it, then at you: what's the risk?
You know it's wrong. But the word won't come. The leaflet explains backflow and back-siphonage in long paragraphs, with fluid categories one to five and no picture of where the water actually goes.
In the book, backflow is one page. An arrow shows the dirty water running the wrong way, back up the hose and into the main. The box says it plainly: sewage is Fluid Category 5, keep hose ends out of dirty water.
The same goes for the clean and dirty zones in the welfare, capping open ends, pipe storage, chlorination in mg/l and who to report to: each one has its own page.
You see why the rule exists, and you do it right on site without going back to the leaflet. On the test, the question reads like a job you've already done.
The card, your health, arriving and storing, the trench, installing, chlorination, flushing and reporting, and test-day revision: 63 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're on a new main with the gang: 100 mm, 200 metres, ready to charge. How much water is in there, and how much chlorine takes it to 20 mg/l?
In the book you open the volume page and the pipe is drawn cut open: 100 mm inside, about 7.85 litres per metre, 200 metres ≈ 1,570 litres. Turn the page and the worked example takes you to grams of chlorine, one step at a time.
Same with the clean and dirty zones in the welfare, pipe stored off the ground, capping open ends, backflow and flushing the main: each one on its own page.
Water Hygiene Illustrated is 8 parts and 59 topics, all drawn, and at the end a test-day revision part with the whole day in 9 steps and the numbers to have to hand.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What the card is, who needs it, how the course and test work, the path from source to tap, what can get into the water and who checks it.
The health questionnaire, when to stop and report, illness after travel, proper hand washing, cuts and gloves, and food, drink and smoking on site.
Clean and dirty zones in the welfare, what goes where in the van, dedicated tools, pipe storage, bagged fittings, fuel and chemicals, and checking deliveries.
A clean trench before and after, trench water and pumping, capping open ends, contaminated mains, sewers close by, animals and bad weather.
Inspecting and cleaning fittings, chlorine spraying, connecting to a live main, backflow, standpipes and hydrants, drinking-water hoses, service pipes and meters.
Why we chlorinate, what mg/l means, pipe volume, a worked chlorine example, contact time, residuals, handling hypochlorite and getting rid of chlorinated water.
Flushing the main, taking samples, what they check, bringing a main into service, records, who to report to and the complaints you might hear.
The whole day in 9 steps, clean or dirty spot-the-difference, the numbers to have to hand, the most frequent mistakes and how to read a multiple-choice question.
At the end of the book: A test-day revision part: the whole day in 9 steps, the numbers to have to hand and how to read a multiple-choice question.
Practise in the same multiple-choice style as the test, with a short explanation of why each answer is right, so nothing on the day feels new.
The rules you need to have to hand, on printable cards: clean zones, capping, storage off the ground, chlorination steps and who to call. Ideal for a last look the night before.
