How It Works & Why It Matters

Everything you need to know about Industrial fume extraction systems.

What Are Fume Extraction Systems?

Fume extraction systems are a type of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) designed to capture and remove hazardous fumes, vapours, and gases at the point of release — before they reach the breathing zone.

They are essential in environments like welding or soldering bays, spray booths, machine shops, and garages where exposure to airborne contaminants poses a health risk.

Key Information
  • Required under HSE guidelines(Control of Substances Hazardous to Health – COSHH; HSG258)
  • Reduces risk of long-term illness, particularly from welding fumes
  • Protects against long-term respiratory illness and health risks
  • 14-month inspection and testing cycle recommended by HSE
