Capture Hood Label (Dust & Fume)

This universal “Dust Capture Zone” pictogram label is designed for use on all types of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) capture hoods where dusts, powders, and particulates are generated, including grinding, cutting, sanding, mixing, bag emptying, and general process extraction. It has been developed by a qualified LEV Engineer and thorough-examination practitioner to provide a clear, professional, and fully compliant method of communicating effective capture distances in accordance with COSHH Regulation 9 and HSG258.

The label provides an instant, visual indication of the hood’s effective capture zone, helping operators understand where work must be positioned to achieve proper dust control. By clearly communicating the maximum safe capture distance determined during LEV testing, it supports correct use of the system, improves contaminant control at source, and provides clear evidence of due diligence during HSE inspections.

Key features include:

• Large, clear Capture Zone pictogram that can be understood at a glance, with no technical explanation required

• Pre-printed “Maximum Safe Capture Distance = ___ mm” with write-on space to record the measured value from the LEV thorough examination

• Simple, high-contrast visual design to ensure visibility in busy industrial environments

• Waterproof, tear-resistant synthetic material suitable for harsh workshop and production settings

• Strong self-adhesive backing for secure fixing to metal, painted, or powder-coated hood surfaces

• Designed by an experienced LEV thorough-examination engineer – exactly the type of professional identification expected to be fitted to hoods following a Regulation 9 test

These labels assist LEV practitioners in meeting their obligations under Health and Safety legislation and HSG258 by clearly communicating the tested capture distance directly to the user of the capture hood. This ensures employees understand how to position their work correctly, reduces misuse of extraction systems, and strengthens compliance documentation.

Available in packs of 25, 100, or 1000 labels.

Ideal for LEV engineers, health & safety managers, and industrial facilities seeking a clear, auditable, inspection-ready solution for dust control systems — with no ambiguity, no over-reliance on training alone, and no awkward questions from the HSE.
