Manufacturing Fume and Dust Extraction

Many manufacturing processes generate hazardous fumes, vapours and airborne contaminants that can pose serious health risks if not effectively controlled. Welding, soldering, chemical processing, painting, cutting and heat-based manufacturing operations can all release harmful substances into the workplace, making effective fume extraction essential for protecting employees and maintaining compliance with COSHH Regulations.

The most effective way to control hazardous fumes is to capture them at source using a Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system. Properly designed extraction systems prevent contaminants from entering the breathing zone, helping to improve air quality, reduce employee exposure and create a safer working environment.

• Depending on your manufacturing process, effective fume control solutions may include:
• Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems to capture fumes at source
• General ventilation to reduce background contaminant levels
• Chemical scrubbers to neutralise or remove harmful gases
• High-efficiency filtration systems for particulates and airborne contaminants
• Regular LEV Thorough Examination & Testing (TExT), servicing and maintenance to ensure continued compliance and performance

Every manufacturing process is different, which is why there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

At Impact Technical Services, our workplace air quality specialists assess your processes, identify potential exposure risks and recommend the most effective extraction and ventilation solution for your application. From LEV testing and COSHH compliance to system design, installation, servicing and maintenance, we help businesses across the UK protect their workforce while keeping operations safe, compliant and efficient.
