Good LEV systems

Post by Stevied10 »

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows what would be the best type of LEV system to use in a concrete testing laboratory. We are exposed to high levels silica dust and at the moment all we use are dust masks but after numerous complaints from myself we have been given the go ahead to get an exhaust system. I dont know where to begin as I'm not too sure on what type I need or where to look.

Any advice from you guys regarding manufacturers, types of LEV etc. would be appreciated.

Regards

Stevie

You need a company that specialises in the task. It is far more complex than it appears on the surface.
