LEV stands for local exhaust ventilation. It is a system that is used in various workplaces to protect workers from hazardous substances.
As an employer you are responsible for maintaining LEV systems that are used in your workplace. A thorough examination of the system should be carried out every 14 months as a minimum.
By LEV testing often you will be able to identify if any part of the system has failed such as the hood. Without thorough testing you risk the health and safety of your workers.
During a LEV test, the examiner will inspect and evaluate the LEV system by:
-Visual examination and component testing:This includes checking the filters and ducting to ensure they are working correctly and to standard.
- Particle count test:Particles that have been captured by the LEV system are tested to check how effective the system is working.
-Reports:After the test a report will be written out outlining what was tested and found during the test.
As well as this, the report will include advice and recommendations if your LEV system needs improving. It is important to note that as an employer you are required to keep the report for a minimum of 5 years.
COSHH, or Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, is UK legislation that safeguards workers from harm caused by hazardous substances. It requires employers to assess the risks of hazardous substances such as dust and fumes and properly monitor and remove these to maintain a healthy work environment.
The time needed for a thorough examination and test of a Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system depends on the size and complexity of your extraction units. Most LEV tests take a few hour per system. Our engineers work efficiently to minimise downtime and disruption to your production.
If your LEV system fails its statutory test under COSHH Regulations, we will provide you with a detailed report highlighting any issues and recommended corrective actions. We also offer remedial works, repairs and system upgrades to help you stay fully compliant with HSE and HSG258 guidelines.
