Hazard Control

Keeping Productivity High and Risk Low, Every Time

Keeping downtime to a minimum is essential to ensuring deadlines are met, and the dockyard runs smoothly. RVT Group appreciates that any loss of time can be costly, so we provide solutions that decrease downtime in three key ways:

Our equipment uses pulse jet cleaning technology, so no maintenance downtime required for cleaning or replacing filters.
If airborne hazards are not effectively controlled, they can accumulate, leading to reduced visibility and increased health risks from inhalation. Our hire equipment extracts dust and fumes directly at the source, preventing the build-up of hazardous particles. This helps maintain clear working conditions ensuring a safe & comfortable working environment is maintained.
Our engineers will install the equipment and train your team how to use it, however, in the unlikely event equipment fails, we can have our engineers out within 24 hours, fixing the problem and getting you back online.

Our hire solutions support within all the areas of hazard control, including:

RVT Group provide effective fume control solutions for:
- Hot work fumes from activities such as TIG or MIG Welding, grinding or cutting.
- Paint vapour control during painting or coating.
We offer a range of industrial dust control solutions, including dust extraction, Local Exhaust Extraction (LEV) systems, dust enclosures, and abrasive blasting extraction.
When working in confined or enclosed spaces, poor air quality can put the health of your workers at significant risk. We offer powerful Ventilation solutions to combat this.
Managing water quality on any dock, including removing solids, chemical dosing and treatment tanks for pH correction and flocculation, and much more.
We provide a variety of solutions for drying out and heating suitable for use on a dockyard. Companies will often use our hire equipment for activities such as coating or painting that require specific thermal conditions and humidity levels to ensure adhesions and quality assurance.
