Cooling tower notification

Licence Summary

If you control non-domestic premises in Wychavon you must ensure that you notify us of any cooling tower or evaporative condenser (notifiable devices) on the premises (The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992).

Notification must be in writing (including by electronic means) on a form approved by the Health & Safety Executive.

You must tell us about any changes to the notification information within one month of the change, in writing.

If the device ceases to be a notifiable device you must tell us, in writing, as soon as possible.

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.
