Compliance for Derby construction sites

• COSHH 2002 — construction dust: Silica dust from cutting, grinding or drilling masonry is a COSHH Category 1 carcinogen. H-Class extraction is mandatory. General construction dust (drywall, timber) requires M-Class as minimum.
• CDM 2015: Principal contractors on Derby construction projects must ensure COSHH-compliant dust control is in place and documented in the Construction Phase Plan.
• Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 — H-Class extraction mandatory for any work near or involving asbestos-containing materials in pre-2000 Derby buildings. Derby's Victorian terrace and brick building stock and the pre-2000 Rolls-Royce Sinfin and Alstom Litchurch Lane manufacturing estate present ACM risk in insulation, pipe lagging and fire protection on refurbishment and construction programmes.
• ICRA — University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust: Any construction or maintenance inside UHDBT — including Royal Derby Hospital at Uttoxeter Road — requires an ICRA before starting. H-Class extraction is mandatory for Type C and D work in clinical areas.
• Carbon fibre and advanced composites — Rolls-Royce Sinfin: Construction and maintenance works on the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus generate carbon fibre composite dust requiring H-Class extraction under COSHH 2002. M-Class is not sufficient for carbon fibre dust.
• 110V on site: All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors available in 110V CTE site-safe specification.

Frequently asked questions

What dust extraction is required for works at Royal Derby Hospital?

Any construction or maintenance inside the UHDBT estate — including Royal Derby Hospital at Uttoxeter Road — requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas, H-Class extraction is mandatory. The V-TUF MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal is the correct specification. Contact 01522 787978 for next-day supply to Derby construction sites.

What extraction is required for construction and maintenance on the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus?

Construction and maintenance works on the Rolls-Royce Sinfin campus that involve carbon fibre composite materials require H-Class extraction under COSHH 2002. Carbon fibre dust is not adequately controlled by M-Class filtration. The MIDI H-Class (H14 HEPA, 99.995%) is the correct specification.
