## Notice

Extension to the jacquard weaving room including removal and reuse of the microwave oven enclosure. The jacquard enclosure is a negative pressure (~10pa) enclosure which will require the extract system to also be extended and recommissioned to give the same operating conditions as the original design intent, that is to provide a safe working environment and protect the composite workshop from carbon particulate. This will require a particle assessment to be undertaken to confirm that any airborne carbon particle's is below that required by current legislation an thus a safe working environment (requirements of EH40 etc)
