RVT Group support a wide range of industrial clients who carry out major shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages, as well as smaller projects involving maintenance or repair work.
We understand that industrial projects present a health and safety challenge, that's why we provide efficient and compliant temporary hire hazard control solutions that will enable you to get the job done in the quickest possible time.
Whether you require a full-service package with a team based on your site throughout the project, or are looking for something less hands-on, we will ensure we meet your requirements with minimal fuss - leaving you to focus on the bigger picture.
No matter if your project is a full shutdown of the plant or a reactive maintenance and repair job, our engineers are used to finding a solution for the most challenging environments, including confined spaces or potentially explosive atmospheres.
Some of the key industries we support with hazard control include:
Activities such as welding, cutting or burning are common during industrial projects. Effective fume control prevents harmful particulate getting into the atmosphere, and posing a risk to workers health.
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems can be tailored to your exact requirements, Eg. for extracting welding fume or hazardous dust.
Dust control systems can be installed to extract and filter harmful dust, such as Silica (RCS). This is ideal for sensitive environments such as an Energy-to-Waste plant.
RVT's extensive confined space range means you will find everything you need here for your required protective equipment.
RVT Group can provide a free of charge hazard control assessment. Your assessment will be with one of our highly experienced and qualified consultants who can help whether you know what you need, or are unsure and want to talk through your options. We tailor our assessment to suit you whether that's a telephone call, a teams meeting, or an in-person site visit.

Challenge: The first concern was welders working at the top of the furnace, carrying out cutting and welding activities. The second area was the contractors carrying out grit blasting and small scale burning on the grate at the bottom of the furnace.
Solution: To protect workers from the hazardous contaminants during the works, RVT installed a fully compliant mobile LEV system designed for fume extraction and filtration on both the top and bottom of the furnace.
Challenge: During a regular shutdown workers needed to break out refractory linings within the Catalytic Cracker Unit. Following this, an inspection was required, with grinding and welding carried out. These activities would create harmful dust and fumes that would put workers health at risk.
Solution: RVT Group designed an effective solution that could handle the dust, welding fume, and ventilation challenged. By using RVT's powerful fans for ventilation, the project timeline was reduced by two days.
Health, safety and wellbeing should never be left to chance, that's why it's important to work with suppliers you trust to deliver.
Contact us via email, telephone or our online enquiry form to discuss your next turnaround, shutdown or outage. Our friendly team will then ask a few questions to get a better understanding on what you require. It might be that we organise a free hazard control assessment.
Our team will put together a fully compliant, effective hazard control solution that mitigates your challenge. Depending on the complexity of your project, we may have a few proposals for you to choose from. When your proposal is ready, your consultant will get in touch to discuss and answer any questions you may have.
Once happy with your hazard control solution, we ask that you organise the PO, so we can organise the delivery. RVT Group's service includes providing the RAMs and the logistics for equipment on site. Once delivered, you will have access to our technical support, engineers, and customer service if you ever need them throughout the hire.
A detailed whitepaper covering the difference between industrial shutdowns and turnaround projects and the importance of hazard control solutions.
This toolbox talk focusses on why LEV is the preferred method to controlling airborne contaminants within industrial settings. Available in PDF and video format.
This whitepaper explores the different points of exposure, long-term health risks and how to help avoid them in-line with HSE guidance and COSHH regulation.
