Engineered Systems
Controlling substances hazardous to health
Exposure control systems preserve good health and are often a primary control measure in the prevention of exposure to hazardous substances. Under the COSHH Regulations, control systems should provide adequate control and prevent exposure as a result. Our engineered systems department are able to undertake a thorough assessment of the controls in place, and advise on improvements to maintain compliance. Engineered systems are quite simply 'life savers" when it comes to COSHH.
Risk assessment
Evaluation of current control measures and risk of exposure
Assessing the risk associated with occupational exposure to chemical agents requires specialist knowledge and expertise. Industrial hygienists are experienced in gathering qualitative and quantitative data sets which allow for accurate and sufficient evaluations to be made in a number of working environments.
Thorough Examination and Testing
Local Exhaust Ventilation
Exposure control systems preserve good health and are often a primary control measure in the prevention of exposure to hazardous substances. Under the COSHH Regulations, control systems should provide adequate control and prevent exposure as a result. We support businesses with undertaking thorough examination and testing of LEV systems, a requirement for any business to commission under COSHH Regulations and in line with HSG258. Workplace Scientifics' engineers inspect the condition of the systems and their ability to adequately control contaminants and make specific advisements on improving containment.
System design
Local exhaust ventilation system design and consultation
Where a potential loss of control is identified through assessing personal exposures to hazardous substances, the Workplace Scientifics engineers can advise and consult on additional control measured in re
