DUCTWORK CLEANING |
| Dirty ventilation ductwork is a
problem, which has many hidden costs, both financial and health related. In
fact the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 recognises
the health risks and impose a duty on employers/building managers to ensure
that the plant and ductwork is cleaned (Regulation 6, and ACOP L24 para33). The problems dirty ductwork can cause include:
Prior to the commencement of cleaning works H.M.L. would meet with the client to discuss working times, access facilities and any specific security requirements. Works would be undertaken by experienced staff to TR/17 specification, utilising modern cleaning methods Equipment used depends on the individual circumstances, but includes high powered industrial vacuums, powered brushes, air lances, steam cleaners etc., plus approved chemicals and biocides. Access into the ductwork is often inadequate, so H.M.L. would install quick release insulated toggle doors, or galvanised steel panels, for cleaning and future monitoring purposes. A "Post Clean" report is produced detailing works done, the equipment used and giving a photographic record pre and post cleaning. |
