Hire Solutions for every Manufacturing Environment In the UK, manufacturing is among the top 10 manufacturing nations globally and contributes around 9-10% of UK GDP. RVT Group supports car, pharmaceutical, chemical, food and drink, advanced engineering and electronics, and aerospace manufacturing across the country during maintenance, shutdown, upgrade and construction projects to ensure hazards arising from these activities are effectively controlled, preventing them from migrating to nearby operational areas, and causing contamination. Talk to an Expert How can we help? Increasing Your Productivity and Minimising Downtime Hazard control on any project is challenging, however, in regulated environments, the risk is heightened and requires meticulous planning. Renovation, repair, maintenance, and turnaround projects all come with an array of environmental and safety challenges, including managing staff, contractors, budgets, plus much more. Our engineering controls helps mitigate challenges faced with noise, dust, fume, ventilation, and confined space working, playing a key role in protecting the health of the workers, and preventing contamination of live operational areas near to the work areas. These hire solutions include: Dust and Fume We provide solutions such as local exhaust ventilation (LEV), and at-source dust and fume extraction, meaning nearby equipment and operations can remain free of contamination, and reduce the risk of reaching unsafe exposure limits, which could be a challenge if left uncontrolled. Noise Our acoustic curtains, quilts and enclosures focus on reducing exposure to dangerous noise levels, enabling noisy work to continue within normal working hours with no restrictions, avoiding delays. Ventilation Poor air quality can put the health of workers at significant risk. Our effective ventilation systems support continuous operation during works within confined or enclosed spaces, displacing air contaminated with hazards such as dust, fume or harmful gases. Confined Space RVT Group provide an extensive range of equipment that helps effectively protect within confined and enclosed spaces, including a fall from a height, noxious gases or poor visibility. This also includes a range of ATEX certified lighting and ventilation solutions for use in hazardous environments.

Activities such as welding, burning or cutting create hazardous dust and fume that is a health risk for workers. Not only can vision be affected from hazy conditions, but if breathed in, the dust or fume exposure can lead to long-term health problems, including asthma, lung scarring and cancer. General ventilation alone is unsuitable for controlling dust or fume as it only moves the contaminated air around. A Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system actively reduces exposure to contaminants by capturing the hazard at the source and filtering it to remove harmful particles before expelling clean, safe air. Here at RVT Group, we have qualified LEV engineers who have undertaken extensive training to ensure they can inform you on an appropriate LEV strategy suitable for your needs. How do you minimise disruption during installation? Our specialist industry engineers minimise disruption by carefully planning installations around your operations. Our equipment arrives built, with our engineers just putting it together for your in your desired location. We can accommodate phased, or an out of hours delivery where needed. Does RVT Group provide TExT certificate for its local exhaust ventilation systems? HSE guidelines explain that Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) solutions must be tested and inspected regularly to ensure that the equipment is “working as effectively as originally intended and is helping to protect your employees’ health”. You may be expected to produce evidence of a Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) if an HSE inspector visits your site. RVT Group ensure that every product is serviced between each hire, including providing a TExT certificate for any of our LEV hire solutions. Do you offer maintenance or ongoing support? Yes, RVT Group offer ongoing support and maintenance throughout your hire. Should you have any maintenance or queries, our friendly customer service team are available to help. In the unlikely event you encounter a breakdown, one of our engineers can be on site within 24 hours. Can we scale equipment up or down easily when hiring from RVT Group? As your project progresses, so can your solution. Your dedicated Industry consultant will have a full understanding of your project and will advise on the solutions suitable for you. What are the expectations from COSHH when reducing workers exposure to substances that are hazardous to their health? COSHH dictates that employers must prevent or reduce their workers exposure to substances that are hazardous to their health by: Establishing what health hazards are present Conducting a risk assessment to decide how to prevent harm to health Making sure control measures adopted are used correctly Providing monitoring and health surveillance, in appropriate cases planning for emergencies. Hazard Control Ranges Hazard Control Solutions for Regulated Industries Projects Fume Heavy-duty extraction systems designed to safely capture hazardous welding fumes, solvents, and chemical gases. Perfectly suited for maintaining clean, compliant air quality in confined industrial and defence sector projects. Dust High-performance dust control and HEPA extraction systems designed to capture hazardous particles at source. Ideal for safeguarding health and maintaining COSHH compliance across heavy demolition and industrial construction. Local Exhaust Ventilation Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) solutions designed to capture dust and fumes at source, helping reduce airborne contaminants and protect people on site. Ventilation High-volume axial, centrifugal, and ATEX-rated fans engineered to deliver safe, continuous airflow. An excellent choice for forcing fresh air or extracting hazardous gases throughout complex industrial installations.
