Businesses in the UK running compressed air systems have legal obligations to ensure the health and safety of their employees and others who may be affected by their activities. Can you demonstrate you are operating within the legislation?

As an authorised reseller for Avelair, we get to attend product training days and as a reward we get a personalised Avelair mug. Why do we choose to specify and sell Avelair Compressors? As nice as the mugs are, it’s not because we get a free mug! Our job at Cambs Compressors, when specifying a new replacement compressor or designing a new compressed air system, is to deliver a solution which meets the customers’ needs for the foreseeable future. This means we have a list of priorities to consider which form our specification process. 1 Compliance needs of the client and their applications 2 Environmental needs of the client and their applications 3 Air Demand and Flow Requirements These three core factors determine the functional needs of the client This is where we look at the specific compressor brands and select what we determine is the best fit for the client’s application. Why we choose Avelair compressors over similar specification compressors You don’t have to think too far back to remember how extended supply chains became an issue. We’ve tried to minimise this by significantly increasing the stock we hold, but having a manufacturer on our doorstep is very comforting. It makes attending product briefing workshops and induction days easy to attend (and of course we are presented with a personalised mug when we do!). n A Written Scheme of Examination n Examination Records n Maintenance Records n Risk Assessment Documentation n Training Records n Records of Competence n Emergency Procedures n Documentation of Compliance with Other Regulations n Noise Level Assessments n Records of Reporting Incidents (RIDDOR) n Documentation of Environmental Compliance
