Supporting Nuclear Power Plants and Power Stations

Workers are at high risk of exposure to fumes from burning, cutting, welding and grinding, and respirable dust such as silica.

Exposure to hazardous dust and fumes over a prolonged period can lead to serious health complications including occupational asthma, silicosis, COPD, and even cancer. Using effective engineering controls can eliminate the risk of exposure.

Due to the complexity of projects carried out within power stations and nuclear power plants, we will often carry out a free hazard control assessment before advising you on the solution you require. However, if you need equipment urgently, and know what you need, we can have it delivered as soon as the next day.

Hiring gives you the flexibility that purchasing cannot offer. When hiring with RVT Group you have:

Scalability 

As your project progresses, so can our equipment, scaling up or down as necessary.

Storage

When hiring equipment, you have no concerns over finding storage space when you have finished carrying out the work, it will be delivered and collected when you need it.

Maintenance and Repair.

All site equipment requires regular testing to ensure that it operates safely and effectively, however some equipment will require in-depth testing such as LEV.

With RVT Group, we service all equipment before it goes out for hire, giving you peace of mind your equipment is ready for the job at hand. In the unlikely event our equipment breaks down, we can have one of our experienced engineers out to you within 24 hours and get you back online.

We offer a specialist range of industrial heaters, air conditioners, air handlers, and cooling fans that can be used to maintain safe working temperatures in extreme conditions, ensuring staff are comfortable and you have the optimal conditions for delivering high quality workmanship.

Our specialist consultants can ensure you are complying with:

• Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• Confined Spaces Regulations 1997
• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (Better known as COSHH)
• Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005
• HSG258 controlling airborne contaminants at work
• EH40/2005 Workplace exposure levels

Within the hierarchy of controls, PPE is the least effective method to tackling hazards and should be considered a last resort. RVT Group offer engineering controls, a solution used to remove the hazard at the source before it comes into contact with a worker.

Engineering controls are designed to control hazards at source, meaning workers are less exposed to the hazard, resulting in less dependency on PPE.

Yes, we can provide training for your team, so they are aware of how to use our equipment whilst it is out on hire. You will also have access to a QR code that will be on your equipment to scan and read the instructions at any point during your hire.

Yes, we can. Our equipment can be situated at any level or area of your site, and provide extraction across multiple levels within various areas. This is through multiple spigots being available on our filtrations systems, and ducting being flexible and long enough to reach multiple welders at one given time.
