pneumoconiosis or black lung.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The correct implementation of an LEV is vital and is broken down into specialties, including:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Designers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Required to interpret customer needs and provide effective LEV systems capable of delivering the required control<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Installers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To assemble and locate the LEV equipment, commission it and ensure it adequately controls contaminant exposure<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Examiners: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needed to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">detect and remedy system defects and ensure that LEV systems continue to deliver effective control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Use Local Area Ventilation (and when to not)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LAV is not a substitute for the complete removal of a hazard. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first port of call and at the top of the risk matrix hierarchy, elimination should always be investigated when working in a dangerous area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While able to capture contaminants at their source, mechanical ventilation remains a small-scale solution for use in clearly identified areas and only moves a fraction of the air compared to general ventilation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A quick checklist can identify if LAV is suitable for your workspace, including:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether a contaminant is harmful, toxic or corrosive, like lead fumes, acid mist or solvent vapour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If contaminant levels are high in the zone<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulations state contaminants must be removed before release into the air\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if the process gives off significant heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulations lie at the heart of the issues and dictate when LAV should be considered. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australian Occupational Safety and Health Regulations stipulate that, as far as practicable: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEmployers must reduce the risks from hazardous substances. The regulation also requires that control measures such as ventilation be used in preference to personal protective equipment where practicable. \u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the Act, an employer must ensure that employees are not exposed to workplace safety and health hazards while providing adequate information, instruction and training. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers must also consult with \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safety and health representatives and other employees about workplace issues, and where exposure to hazards can\u2019t be eliminated, provide employees with adequate personal protective clothing and equipment.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it&#8217;s easy to get lost in the rules and regulations, the fact remains that LAV is an important and essential measure in minimising risk at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assembling and Testing Your LEV System<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an engineering control measure, you must choose the components of your system for maximum effect. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The flip side is a process that\u2019s ineffective at removing contaminants, and that\u2019s a problem, mainly if those working think the area is safe and forgo masks, etc. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once installed and checked that it\u2019s working correctly, an LEV must also be tested regularly, per regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The components of an exhaust system are often consistent and can include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hood<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To capture the most contaminated air, a hood should be as close to the source of contamination as possible or enclose the body of air \u2013 like a spray booth, for example. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hood must also be chosen for either dust or fume capture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2. The Ducting<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ducting should allow the contaminated air to travel through the systems and the air cleaner element. It&#8217;s best to avoid sharp corners in your ducting and keep it easy to access for assessment, maintenance and cleaning. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular inspections are vital as ducting systems have been known to collapse under the weight of collected dust or to catch fire thanks to dust buildup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03. The Air Cleaner<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An air cleaner or filter element removes particles from the air. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air cleaners must be selected to match the contaminant while being easily cleaned or replaced without further exposure. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filter elements must also be cleaned to ensure they continue working effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 4. The Fan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fan moves air through the hood and ducts it to the exhaust stack. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An occupational hygienist or industrial ventilation engineer will help you choose the correct type and fan size for your LEV system, ensuring it operates effectively.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fan should be positioned for easy maintenance and to minimise the noise hazard for nearby workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 5. The Exhaust Stack<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An exhaust stack discharges contaminated air to the outside world. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaust stacks should not discharge into a public area or near air inlets for air-conditioners or neighbouring buildings. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They must also be checked for correct air volume, leaks, and corrosion while running.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dust suppression is a critical issue in the world of mining and resources.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more about GRT\u2019s industry-leading and IoT-connected\u00a0<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/smart-dosing-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SMART Dosing Units<\/a>, and discover how we\u2019re driving better dust suppression solutions for all!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019d like to talk with an expert, simply\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/globalroadtechnology.com\/\/contact-grt\/\">contact us<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your feedback is important to us.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you enjoyed reading this Global Road Technology industry update and found it informative, please let us know by leaving a <a href=\"http:\/\/REVIEW\">REVIEW<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">References:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/lev\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/lev\/index.htm<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.wa.gov.au\/worksafe\/local-exhaust-ventilation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.commerce.wa.gov.au\/worksafe\/local-exhaust-ventilation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worksafe.govt.nz\/topic-and-industry\/fumes\/local-exhaust-ventilation-quick-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.worksafe.govt.nz\/topic-and-industry\/fumes\/local-exhaust-ventilation-quick-guide\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air quality and particle presence remain significant hazards in the Australian workplace.
