Cooling towers and evaporative condensers

This is all about controlling the risk from Legionella.

If you have a cooling tower or an evaporative condenser on your premises or site, then please contact us to make us aware of it and its location.

Once we are aware, we will ask you to complete a form telling us about your cooling tower and/or condenser and we will then enter the details onto our register.

The HSE are responsible for enforcing the Health & Safety requirements relating to these specialist structures. You can find out more here:
