Direct at-source extraction of dust and fumes at the point of emission for elimination of airborne contaminants from your workplace.

Compliance is the minimum.
Protection is the standard.

Many workshops install extraction systems to meet regulatory requirements.

That’s important.

But the real goal isn’t ticking a box — it’s creating an environment where:

• People can work confidently
• Equipment lasts longer
• Productivity isn’t compromised
• Air quality is consistently controlled

There’s a difference between meeting a standard and committing to a healthier, more efficient workspace.

Clean air isn’t just compliance.
It’s operational responsibility.

Quick question — when was your extraction system last properly assessed?

Not just visually inspected.
Not just filters replaced.
But actually reviewed for performance.

Over time:
✔ Filters clog
✔ Ducting leaks
✔ Capture points shift
✔ Production demands change

And systems that once worked well may no longer be performing as intended.

A periodic review can often uncover simple improvements that make a significant difference.

If it’s been a while, it may be worth revisiting.

Clean air isn’t a one-time install — it’s an ongoing commitment.

Having extraction isn’t the same as having effective extraction.

We often see systems that are technically “installed” —
but not positioned, sized, or configured for the way the workshop actually operates.

Capture distance matters.
Airflow matters.
Duct design matters.
How your team actually works matters.

A system that looks good on paper can underperform in practice.

Good engineering starts at the source — not just with the equipment, but with how it’s applied.

If you’re relying on a system that was designed years ago (or copied from another site), it may be worth a second look. And if you're relying on a system created by AI... well... call us, stat!

Poor extraction doesn’t just affect health. It affects performance.

When airborne dust and fumes aren’t captured effectively, you’ll often see:

• More frequent equipment cleaning
• Premature wear on machinery
• Reduced visibility
• Energy inefficiencies
• Unplanned downtime

These costs rarely appear on a single invoice — but they add up over time.

A well-designed system isn’t an expense.
It’s operational protection.

If your workshop feels like it’s working harder than it should be, it might not be your team — it might be your air management.

What’s actually in your workshop air right now?

Most sites don’t struggle with visible smoke or thick dust clouds.
It’s the fine particulates — welding fumes, diesel exhaust, airborne dust — that quietly build up over time.

And because they’re not obvious, they’re often underestimated.

If you had to rate your air quality today — without testing — would you feel confident? What number would you call?

1. Completely under control
2. Probably fine
3. Not sure
4. Concerned

Clean air isn’t about reacting when something looks bad.
It’s about designing systems that perform properly every day.

If you’re unsure where your current setup stands, we can help you assess it.

MYTH: Once installed, extraction systems just keep working
FACT: Performance drops without regular servicing and checks

Like any critical equipment, extraction systems need attention to perform as designed.
Filters load up, airflow changes, usage evolves — and systems that once worked well can quietly underperform.

A simple check can protect performance, people, and compliance.

We asked AI to generate a "family photo" of our fume extraction arms. The result? Well, like any real family gathering, it’s perfectly imperfect. A little quirky, a bit chaotic, but full of character!

Just like in a real family, every member here is unique. They have different strengths, different builds, and different jobs they are best suited for.

And that’s exactly how we approach industrial safety. We know one size doesn't fit all. Whether you need robust metal arms for heavy-duty welding, corrosion-resistant options for laboratories, or highly flexible hose solutions for tight spots, ours is a large family and there's "someone" for everyone!

Don't settle for a generic solution. Let us introduce you to the member of our family that can serve the needs of your facility perfectly.

MYTH: PPE alone keeps workers safe
FACT: Engineering controls should always come first

Respirators, masks and PPE are important — but they’re a last line of defence.
The safest workshops focus first on eliminating or capturing hazards through smart system design.

Good engineering protects everyone, not just the person wearing the mask.

🚒 Project Spotlight: Hawke's Bay Airport Fire Station

AtSource worked alongside Jackson Engineering Advisers, TW Construction Company and Mill Electrical - Hawke's Bay to deliver a vehicle exhaust extraction system designed for reliability in a high-demand emergency services environment.

Featuring VSS vertical stack systems, automatic controls, and future-ready expansion capability, the system helps keep appliance bays safer and the air cleaner for crews during daily operations.

MYTH: If you can’t see it, it’s not harmful
FACT: The smallest particles often cause the biggest health risks

Not all risks announce themselves.
Fine dust, fumes and vapours can linger in the air long after the job’s done — and they’re often the most harmful.

Because cleaner air starts with better awareness.
