Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Testing

Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems are critical for removing harmful dust, mist, fumes, smoke, and gases from the air. Under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations, most LEV systems must be thoroughly tested at least once every 14 months.

This applies to:

• Oil mist extraction systems
• Wood dust control units
• Welding fume extraction
• Shot blasting and smoke removal systems

Why It Matters

LEV systems are a primary control measure for hazardous substances. Failure to maintain and test LEV can lead to serious health risks, legal penalties, and non-compliance.

How Our LEV Testing Works

• Visual & Structural Examination
  Verify the system is in good repair, clean, and functioning efficiently.
• Technical Performance Review
  Check conformity with commissioning data and relevant standards.
• Control Effectiveness Assessment
  Ensure the system adequately reduces exposure to hazardous substances.
• Integrated Support
  Air monitoring and health surveillance reviews for a complete compliance approach.
