Cooling Tower Notification and Legionnaires' Disease

Information on registering cooling towers and evaporative condensers.

All premises where cooling towers and evaporative condensers are situated must register with the local authority under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992.

The prime purpose of this is to identify potential areas that could give rise to spread of infectious disease e.g. legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection arising to employees and the public.

To register details of cooling towers and evaporative condensers please download the attached Notification Form which should then be completed and posted back to us.

A list of registered cooling towers within the Authority is also available to view - please see link on the right.

Further information relating to Legionnaires' Disease is available on the Health and Safety Executive's Website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/legionnaires/index.htm
