We’re raising awareness for Recycle Week

We’re raising awareness for Recycle Week this month by helping people understand the importance of using recyclable products (October 2023).

We’re supporting the nation’s annual waste management celebration, from October 16 to 22, by assisting firms using filtration systems to recognise what can and can’t be recycled.

Recycling more

Jason Day, our LEV Division Manager, says: “Recycle Week is seven days of the year where retailers, brands, waste management companies, trade associations, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise everyone into recycling more of the right things, more often.
“We’re keen to help spread that message and we’re happy to chat to any commercial air filter users, whether they are our customer or not, to give them free help and advice, during the week, on recycling air filters, where possible, and what products to use that can be recycled.

Zero to landfill

“For example, we’ve specifically created and recently launched our new SuperpleatXC Panel Filter, which is classified as suitable for Waste to Energy (WtE) and, providing it’s disposed of like this, zero goes to landfill.

“Our SuperpleatXC Panel Filter (hyperlink to product page to buy it on the e-store website – is this the best link Colin? Items | Jasun Envirocare Plc (jfilters.com)) is unusual in that the entire filter in this case can go to WtE. Parts of other air filters are recyclable – metal frames for example, but it takes a bit of work.

“These filters also help increase efficiency, reduce energy consumption and offer greater performance levels, which is another big plus point when it comes to being planet positive.

Inhouse R&D

“They’ve been designed by our specialist, inhouse R&D department here in Somerset where we’ve bespoke labs and we’re the only UK-based air filter manufacturer that has an ISO16890 test facility. We’re very proud of what our team of highly skilled clean air solution experts have achieved and are delighted to offer this product, with its great eco-credentials.

Our recycling service

“We are also able to recycle the metal frames from other bag and panel filters, as part of the services we provide. We can either collect used filters and recycle the metal, or the customer can send them back to us for the service to be carried out.”

Our LEV services & what we do

We recently uploaded a blog all about Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV). This was the first blog in a series of two about LEV.

In this article below, the second of our free advice guides, we’ll go into more detail about the law and LEV, what we do and how we can help you.

 

Legal LEV testing requirement

It is a legal requirement, as set out in the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, for any employer to maintain healthy working conditions for their employees.

Under the current Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH), which govern the LEV industry, any employer using LEV in the workplace must have equipment examined and tested every 14 months to ensure it’s working effectively and safely.

 

Regular LEV testing

As Regulation 9 – (1) of COSHH states, a LEV system needs to be: ‘... maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, in good repair and in a clean condition’.

We can help you do this through regular LEV testing and servicing.

Testing determines how effectively a LEV system operates and removes dust and fume contaminants from the atmosphere, so that people cannot breathe them in, before discharging them safely.

 

Delivering a safer workplace

Good LEV service regimes, alongside regular testing, ensure that existing LEV systems continue to remove contaminants in the air before people breathe them in, delivering a safer workplace and a cleaner environment.

 

Our LEV expertise & services

We’ve decades of industry experience in dust extraction and thorough LEV testing, inspection, repair and maintenance for all types and sizes of businesses, UK-wide and overseas.

We undertake comprehensive examinations of LEV equipment, as well as providing extraction servicing and remedial works. We measure technical performance using state-of-the-art calibrated equipment to assess the effectiveness of a LEV system.

Where appropriate/necessary, we make recommendations and can supply/order parts for any repair work.

All our inspections and tests are fully in accordance with current COSHH, BOHS & HSE guidelines.

Our LEV engineers hold the BOHS (British Occupational Hygiene Society) P601 ‘Commissioning and Thorough Examination and Testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems’, which the HSE guidance (HSG258) refers to as one measure of competency in this area.

HSG258 – relates to guidance on the maintenance, examination and testing of LEV, commonly used to control the release of hazardous airborne substances in the work environment.

We also hold the P602 ‘Design Principles of Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems’ and the further P604 ‘Performance Evaluation & Management of Local Exhaust & Ventilation Systems’ certifications.

 

Our LEV testing services include:

• A physical inspection of the system inclusive of a system diagram
• Providing a comprehensive LEV report, detailing performance rates of each system
• Issuing a certificate of compliance within COSHH requirements – should the LEV system meet HSE guidelines
• A range of service packages & maintenance
• Carrying out assessments/commissioning of new ventilation systems
• Supply and install new LEV systems & filtration solutions.

Our reports will clearly address and assess whether your LEV system complies with all current regulations and legislation.
