What it requires
Each person who has, to any extent, control of non-domestic premises used for a trade, business or other undertaking must ensure that no notifiable device is situated there unless the local authority for the area has been notified in writing, on a form approved by the Health and Safety Executive, of the address of the premises, the name, address and telephone number of a person in control of them, the number of notifiable devices and the location of each (reg 3(1), Schedule). A notifiable device is a cooling tower (a device whose main purpose is to cool water by direct contact with a stream of air) or an evaporative condenser (a device cooling a fluid through a heat exchanger itself cooled by water passing through a stream of air), unless it contains no water exposed to air and neither its water supply nor its electrical supply is connected (reg 2). A change affecting the particulars is notified within one month; a device that ceases to be, and is not intended to remain, notifiable is notified as soon as reasonably practicable, but not where operation is suspended for maintenance or seasonal shutdown (reg 3(3)–(5)).
