What the listed services involve

LEV testing

A thorough examination and test checks the condition of your extraction system and measures airflow to assess how it controls exposure. For most LEV, this is required at least every 14 months under regulation 9 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

Ductwork

Ducts carry contaminated air from the capture point towards a collector or discharge point. Work on their layout, joints and condition affects airflow, access for cleaning and the build-up of material inside.

Dust extraction

Dust extraction captures particles near the machine or process that releases them and carries them to a collection unit. The material being handled and the position of the capture hood affect how well it works.

Fume extraction

Fume extraction draws airborne contaminants away from a process before they spread through the workplace. Selecting suitable capture equipment and air treatment depends on the fumes or vapours produced and how the work is done.

Welding fume

Welding fume extraction uses equipment such as movable capture arms, extracted benches or on-torch extraction to collect fume near the weld. Positioning the capture point and allowing for the welder's movements are part of making it effective.

Training

Training can help operators recognise poor extraction, position capture hoods and carry out routine checks. The content should match the equipment they use and the actions they need to take when something is wrong.
