When it comes to industrial and commercial ventilation systems, ensuring cleanliness and compliance is critical – not just for safety, but also for performance and peace of mind. At Rope Access 24 Seven, we take this responsibility seriously. Our rope access ductwork service delivers expert extract system cleaning and maintenance, always in full alignment with the highest standards, especially BSEHV11.
What is BSEHV11?
BSEHV11 refers to the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for cleaning industrial and commercial ventilation systems. These standards establish the best practices for cleaning every component of ventilation systems, including:
- Ductwork
- Fans
- Filters
- Terminal grills
BSEHV11 is particularly essential for high-risk environments such as commercial kitchens, food processing plants and manufacturing facilities, where grease, dust and contaminants build up quickly. Following this standard ensures your systems are safe, clean and legally compliant.
Why BSEHV11 Compliance is Essential
- Enhanced Air Quality
Ventilation systems naturally accumulate dust, grease and airborne contaminants over time. If left uncleaned, these pollutants circulate through the building, reducing air quality and affecting employee health. Cleaning your systems according to BSEHV11 standards ensures your workplace maintains clean, breathable air, boosting employee well-being and productivity.
- Fire Risk Reduction
In kitchen environments, grease build-up is more than a nuisance – it is a major fire hazard. Grease is highly flammable and, if extract systems are not regularly cleaned, it can ignite, causing dangerous and costly fires. BSEHV11 provides fire-safe cleaning protocols to reduce this risk and protect your premises. Rope Access 24 Seven are able to provide a professional service for your working at height, hard to reach areas ensuring compliance is met throughout the entire extract system.
- Regulatory Compliance
For sectors like food production, hospitality and manufacturing, following BSEHV11 is often not optional – it is a legal requirement. Non-compliance can result in:
- Fines or penalties
- Insurance issues
- Business shutdowns
Staying compliant not only avoids these outcomes but also reinforces your commitment to workplace safety and quality assurance.
- Operational Efficiency
Dirty ductwork and clogged extract systems hinder airflow and force your equipment to work harder, increasing energy usage and wear and tear. Regular duct cleaning and system maintenance improves energy efficiency, enhances airflow and extends the life of your ventilation equipment – saving you money in the long term.
- Total Peace of Mind
Knowing your ventilation systems are maintained to BSEHV11 standards means you can focus on running your business without worrying about hidden fire risks or compliance issues. Our thorough documentation and reporting also provide a solid audit trail for inspections and insurance purposes.
