Ventilation checklist - local exhaust extraction

You may not think about ventilation until staff complain that it’s too hot or cold. So why not check on its effectiveness between maintenance checks? Our checklist is designed to help you do this.

Making extra checks

If you have workshops that generate dusts and fumes, a more specialist Ventilation Checklist - Local Exhaust Extraction can help you manage the extra risks.

Local exhaust ventilation

The first question asks if employees have been trained in how to use local exhaust ventilation, whilst the second focuses on whether your maintenance covers all the necessary areas. These include ductwork, lubrication requirements and the alarms on any airflow sensors. Other questions look at whether you have procedures for the correct disposal of dust collection bags and maintain a stock of spare parts.
