Safe Working Practices & Protective Clothing
The ventilation system, together with suitable
protective clothing and breathing equipment, allows
operations with toxic materials to be conducted in a
safe and controlled manner.
Nuvia has wide experience in the specification of protective clothing, breathing equipment and training in working practices with toxic material and would be pleased to provide advice. We can also provide training in the erection and operation of ModuCon®.
ModuCon® is designed with safety in mind; however it will always be the responsibility of the operations engineer carrying out the work to ensure that the system being used is fit for his purpose. Nuvia can advise with the preparation of safety cases.
When the ModuCon® is operated with a controlled air flow the depression within is typically 10 Pa. However, there are operations in which a controlled depression (higher than 10 Pa) may be needed rather than a controlled air flow rate. In these cases the ModuCon® would be fitted with pressure relief valves.
Nuvia can advise on the integrity of ModuCon® at increased depression. In most cases a depression of 100 Pa will present no problems, and higher depressions or positive pressure (clean room) can be accommodated with the use of simple bracing.
Weather Proofing
For out-door use it is recommended that the
ModuCon® is installed inside a standard portable
industrial shelter, or under scaffolding clad with
weather-proof sheets. This arrangement provides
weather protection for the ModuCon® plus useful
additional working and storage space. Water should
not be allowed to collect on the roof of a standard
indoor ModuCon®.
If this method is not practicable, an outdoor ModuCon® with a weatherproof apex roof and external flanges to allow insulation/cladding of the unit can be supplied.
Quality
Nuvia supplies ModuCon® solutions to customers’
individual requirements. The Company’s quality and
environmental systems are certified by LRQA to
BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and BS EN ISO 14001:2004
respectively.
Innovation and Continuous Improvement
We are continually improving our range of panels and
panel options, eg removable roof systems, tool-ports,
upgraded posting systems, external storage system
for emergency PPE and associated equipment and
integrated boot barriers.
In accordance with our policy of continuous improvement, we reserve the right to make changes in the design and specification of the ModuCon® components. All changes, wherever possible, are made to be compatible with current construction and design.
