Cooling tower notification
Licence summary
Under the notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative
Condenser Regulations 1992, the notification of wet cooling towers
and evaporative condensers is required to Local Authorities in
whose area the equipment is situated.
This is regardless of whether it is the Local Authority or HSE
that is the enforcing authority for the premises concerned.
Local Authorities have to make available to HSE information from
notifications relating to equipment on premises for which HSE has
enforcement responsibility.
The main purpose of this requirement is to assist inspectors in
investigating outbreaks of Legionella disease (2 or more confirmed
cases) thought likely to have arisen from wet cooling towers or
evaporative condensers.
