Public Health - Cooling Tower Notification
The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condenser
Regulations 1992 require the notification of wet cooling towers and
evaporate 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.
