Exciting times ahead for Compliance LEV as we start our journey on the road to our new premises’ in Mauchline, East Ayrshire.
In a significant stride towards expansion and growth Compliance LEV is excited to announce that work has started on our new warehouse and office facility in Mauchline East Ayrshire. This exiting development marks a pivotal moment for the company as it gears up to better service it’s clients and accommodate its rapidly expanding operations in Scotland and the UK.
Compliance LEV engineers completed a fantastic install for a plastics extrusion client with fume coming from the rolling process. These canopies swing out to allow access to the heated rollers. A great job, on time, to budget and controlling contaminant at source.

Another successful quarterly water change, clean and service for 4 wet collectors for our client. These systems return air back to the workplace and therefore reduce site emissions by circa 10,000m3/hr. The clients heat loss is reduced dramatically as a by-product of great LEV design.
Do you need to reduce your costs of ownership and operating your LEV systems? We are the industry leader in bespoke energy reducing solutions on all types of LEV. If you want to be LEV compliant, best use Compliance LEV.

In early 2022 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) completed a project to update the evidence base on wood dust exposure risks in British manufacturing industries. In so doing, HSE gained a better understanding of how it could support small and medium-sized woodworking enterprises in controlling exposure to wood dust.

The HSE and stakeholders have agreed to work together to cut cases of work-related ill health, particularly asthma.
A good practice guide for safe handling and disposal of MWF’s (PDF) has been prepared by a panel of experts from UK Lubricants Association (UKLA) and HSE. The guide provides good practice advice on how to maintain and control exposure to MWFs to prevent ill health in workshops.
A serious health concern associated with metalworking fluids is dermatitis. Every year, around 200 cases of contact dermatitis related to exposure to cutting oils and coolants are reported to EPIDERM (European Prevention Initiative for Dermatological Malignancies) – a scheme in which dermatologists report cases of occupational skin disorders. These figures are undoubtedly a very substantial underestimate of the true incidence of skin disease. There are also thought to be risks to the skin arising from exposure to water-mix wash fluids used to clean machined components.
A growing concern is the risk of asthma, occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other breathing problems from exposure to mist from metalworking. Work-related asthma is a significant and growing problem with an estimated 1,500 to 3,000 new cases each year. On average, up to 2003, at least 20 of these cases were associated with exposure to metalworking fluids but it is thought many more cases go unrecognised. There are also thought to be risks of breathing problems arising from exposure to mist from water–mix wash fluids used to clean machined components.
There have been several large outbreaks of respiratory illness in the UK where many workers were diagnosed with respiratory illness as a result of exposure to mist. At one of these sites there was mist from both metalworking and washing machines.
In past decades, work that resulted in repeated exposure to metal working fluids carried an increased risk of several types of cancer. Research has shown that this was due to the use of unrefined oils, which contained carcinogenic substances. Modern neat oils are highly refined and do not pose this risk of cancer.
There is a possibility that carcinogenic substances (polycyclic aromatic amines and nitrosamines) may be formed under certain in–use conditions. However, provided metalworking fluids are properly managed, it is unlikely that they will contain significant amounts of these carcinogens. Any remaining risks of cancer will therefore be small, or even negligible, and you are unlikely to need to take extra precautions other than those in these Topic Pages and in e – COSHH essentials, and checking your fluids properly.
