Air handling units

The catering and hospitality industry covers a wide range of different businesses including hotels, pubs and restaurants, contract caterers in various industrial and commercial premises, fast food takeaways, cafés and bistros.

Working in this type of environment can be potentially hazardous, so it is important to manage the risks and prevent the causes of accidents and ill health.

Ventilation, air extraction and air-conditioning systems can be a source of contention within the community. Poorly installed or maintained plant can cause a nuisance to neighbours through noise disturbance or fume and odour problems. The latter particularly applies to extraction units at catering establishments such as restaurants and take-aways but may also include extraction systems from production plant at other commercial premises.

Please be aware that planning permission or building regulations approval may be required.
