Compliance for Lincoln 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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln buildings. Lincoln's Victorian and Edwardian building stock — including the terraced properties across Sincil Bank and New Boultham and the pre-2000 commercial buildings across the city centre — present ACM risk in textured coatings, floor tiles and pipe lagging on refurbishment programmes.
• ICRA — Lincoln County Hospital and ULHT estate: Any construction or maintenance inside United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust requires an ICRA before starting. H-Class extraction is mandatory for Type C and D work in clinical areas.
• 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 Lincoln County Hospital?

Any construction or maintenance inside the ULHT estate — including Lincoln County Hospital at Greetwell 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. V-TUF is based in Lincoln — contact 01522 787978 for same-day supply to the ULHT estate where required.

Is H-Class extraction required for Lincoln Cathedral stone restoration work?

Yes. Cutting, grinding or drilling limestone — the primary building material of Lincoln Cathedral — generates respirable crystalline silica, which is classified as a COSHH Category 1 carcinogen. H-Class extraction is required for all masonry operations generating RCS. M-Class is not sufficient for silica control. The V-TUF MIDI H-Class with H14 HEPA filtration at 99.995% is the correct specification.

Can V-TUF supply dust extraction equipment direct to Lincoln construction sites?

Yes — V-TUF is based in Scampton, Lincoln, which means next-day and same-day supply is available to Lincoln city construction sites, the University of Lincoln campus and ULHT estate on stocked items. Contact 01522 787978 for urgent site requirements.
