Laundry extraction systems are designed to remove airborne lint and dust in the laundry to provide hygienic and comfortable working conditions. The build up of lint and dust over a period of time leads to clogged up filters and fans. This not only reduces the health and comfort of working conditions in the laundry but will also constitute a potential fire hazard to all building occupants. A professional laundry extract ventilation cleaning will reduce the risk of fire and keep everything in top condition.
Fire Risk
The destructive potential of laundry fires is well documented. The Fire & Rescue Services, who have inspection responsibilities to ensure compliance with the Fire Safety Order, have highlighted the potential fire dangers of accumulations of flammable materials in laundry extract systems. They advise all owners and managers to ensure they are regularly inspected and, where a build up of lint and dust are found, to have them professionally cleaned. In some cases, laundry extract systems are constructed as local exhaust ventilation systems which makes them also subject to compliance with Health & Safety COSHH Regulations.
