Client Overview
London’s largest undercover Material Recycling Facility (MRF) required support in improving the quality of their recovered materials and maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations. With mixed paper, plastics, dry foods, and glass being processed, effective dust control and reliable equipment performance were essential.
Our Solution
Our sister company, Impact Air Systems, had previously designed and installed the heavy-duty dust extraction and separation systems at the site, so Impact Technical Services were the natural choice to maintain and improve performance.
Following a site visit and full survey:
- LEV Thorough Examination & Testing (TExT) was carried out in line with COSHH regulation 9.
- Additional LEV systems and ventilation serving the Sort Cabins were reviewed and improved.
- A new programme of air quality testing was implemented, including gravimetric monitoring to ensure exposure levels were well below HSE Workplace Exposure Limits (EH40/2005).
The Result
Employees now work in a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable environment. The MRF is fully compliant with HSG258 guidelines, COSHH regulations, and ISO14001 requirements, while maximising the value of its recovered materials.
