Beyond Ventilation: Why LEV is Critical for Clean Air in Manufacturing
Manufacturing factories naturally generate large amounts of dust and fumes during their daily operations. While these busy workspaces have always needed good airflow, there is a huge difference between just moving air around and actually clearing it out completely....
Why Pharmaceutical LEV Systems Require Specialist Design & Competent Engineering
The pharmaceutical industry presents some of the most demanding environments for Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems. From powder handling and dispensing through to laboratory processes and production environments, pharmaceutical facilities often involve hazardous...
How Evaporative Cooling Supports Safer, More Efficient Industrial Environments
Managing an industrial space means battling rising summer temperatures and airborne hazards. Traditional air conditioning is often too expensive to run, leaving the factory floor to become dangerously warm in the summer months.Effective workplace safety requires a...
The Role of Dust Extraction in Protecting Food Safety and Worker Health
In the food processing industry, dust is often viewed as something which is going to occur regardless of procedures done throughout the workplace. In reality, dust should be managed properly and taken seriously due to the impacts it can have on the safety of food as...
Engineered Stone, Silicosis & HSE Enforcement, What UK Fabricators Must Do Now
On 11 May 2026, the HSE declared dry cutting of engineered stone unacceptable. Over 1,000 inspections of fabricators are already underway. If you cut, grind or polish engineered stone, this is the moment to get your controls in order. Engineered stone, the artificial...
Where Does Your Extracted Air Actually Go?
Why Stack Discharge and Plume Dispersal Matter More Than Most People Realise If you run a process that generates hazardous fumes, dust, or vapours, you probably already know that Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) is a legal requirement under COSHH. This means an...
World Day for Safety and Health at Work: The Role of Local Exhaust Ventilation in Protecting Workers
Local Exhaust Ventilation systems play a pivotal role in building healthier, cleaner workspaces across corporate and industrial environments. Therefore, it is imperative for workspaces to maintain their LEV systems, ensuring health and safety compliance. World Day for...
Why Is Industrial Air Duct Cleaning Important? Its Impact on LEV Performance
In most industrial environments, airborne contaminants are an accepted part of the process. Dust, fumes, and particulates are generated daily, and LEV systems are relied upon to control them at source. Over time, a proportion of this material can settle within the...
