The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condenser Regulations 1992 require the notification of wet cooling towers and evaporative condensers to local authorities in whose area the equipment is situated regardless of whether it is the Local Authority or Health and Safety (Executive) who is the enforcing authority.
The prime purpose of this is to identify potential areas that could give rise to spread of infectious disease, eg legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection arising to employees and the public.
To give notification of your cooling tower, download The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992 (PDF: 31Kb / 3 pages) and return it to the Food, Health and Safety Team on the details given below. There is no charge for notification.
