Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Cooling Towers

All premises containing cooling towers and evaporative condensers must be registered with the council 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 the spread of infectious disease e.g. legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection to employees and the public.

Registration will provide the information to enable any outbreak to be properly investigated. All changes and alterations should also be notified to the Local Authority.

There is no charge for registration.

Please use the registration form on the right for cooling towers notification.

Operators of installations should be aware that both the local authority and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) will undertake a number of visits to their premises to ensure standards are met and will take enforcement action where appropriate.

If you have concerns about the Regulations and health and safety legislation you can contact Environmental Health and HSE for advice on this matter.
