Vehicle Exhaust Extraction Systems

Vehicle exhaust fumes are a serious and often underestimated risk in many working environments. Did you know? Air pollution contributes to an estimated 29,000 to 43,000 deaths a year. 

High-intensive workplaces such as garages, bus depots, servicing workshops, and fire stations are prone to the problem of vehicle fumes. Without effective vehicle exhaust extraction in place, these harmful fumes can build up quickly and put people and businesses at risk. 

At Vent-Tech, not only are we respected industry experts, but we also have years of experience working with companies where harmful vehicle fumes are present. We help businesses get their vehicle fume exhaust systems working efficiently to control the risks and comply with HSE legislation. 

Why is Vehicle Exhaust Extraction Important

Vehicle fumes, especially diesel fumes, contain high levels of soot, made up of carbon particles that can account for 60 – 80% of the exhaust content. These particles carry harmful contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as carcinogens.

Relying on open doors, general ventilation, or catalytic converters is not enough to control vehicle exhaust fumes. Therefore, a directed source capture, through a dedicated vehicle exhaust extraction system, is the most effective way to prevent fumes from spreading into the workplace air.

Why choose Vent-Tech for vehicle exhaust extraction

Vent-Tech operates on a national scale, supporting organisations across the UK where controlling vehicle exhaust fumes is a critical safety and compliance requirement. We take the time to understand how vehicles operate within your environment before recommending any solution.

By analysing your day-to-day operations, vehicle movements, and engine use, we advise on the most appropriate way to achieve a fully HSG258-compliant local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system. This ensures vehicle exhaust fumes are captured effectively at source and exposure risks are properly controlled.

Trusted by organisations operating in demanding environments, including Bombardier, Peverell Garage, Cardiff Bus, and Newquay Airport, we are a team of experienced, competent engineers, delivering practical, engineered solutions that protect employees, support compliance, and ensure workplace safety.
