At Black Grid Automation, we design and install diesel fume extraction systems for businesses across the UK, Northwest, and England, helping to protect your workforce, stay compliant with HSE guidance, and safeguard your operations. Diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEEs) are classified as a workplace hazard, and failing to control them can lead to serious health issues, regulatory penalties, and costly downtime.
Why Diesel Fume Extraction Matters
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that
exposure to diesel fumes can cause eye and throat irritation in the short term, but long-term exposure is linked to respiratory disease, asthma, and even lung cancer. For employers, this means a clear duty of care to protect employees under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations. Ignoring these risks not only puts staff health at risk, but also leaves businesses exposed to legal action, fines, and reputational damage.
Benefits for Your Business
Installing a professionally designed diesel fume
extraction system ensures harmful emissions are captured at source and
safely vented away from workspaces. This:
Improves air quality and creates a safer working environment.
Reduces employee absence due to ill health, protecting productivity.
Demonstrates compliance with HSE and COSHH requirements.
Protects your business from costly fines, claims, or enforcement action.
Shows staff, clients, and visitors that you take health and safety seriously.
Our Approach
At Black Grid Automation, we provide complete solutions—from site surveys and system design to installation and
commissioning. We work with industrial-grade extraction fans, ducting, and
control systems to deliver reliable, efficient performance that keeps your
workplace safe. Every system is designed around your specific facility, whether it’s a garage, workshop, warehouse, or plant room.
By integrating automation and safety interlocks, our extraction systems operate only when required, reducing energy costs while maintaining compliance. We also offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure
your system continues to protect your workforce for years to come.
