Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Testing

Overview Every year 12,000 lung disease deaths are estimated to be linked to past exposures at work*. This has led to more stringent guidelines and statutory requirements regarding the testing of LEV equipment used to remove dust or fumes from the working environment. This includes oil mist, welding fume, smoke and dust extraction units.

LEV testing is regulated by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) and comes under COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Law. It must be undertaken by a competent specialist every 14 months, or in some cases, monthly or bi-annually (Details regarding LEV regulations can be found by visiting the HSE website at www.hse.gov.uk/lev). NLTG’s Health & Safety Specialists have years of experience in undertaking thorough equipment inspections and evaluations of LEV systems against industry requirements and HSE guidelines. Our LEV testing service will include: • A review of previous LEV tests. • A review of working practices and processes, including airflow/pressure measurements and checks on the effectiveness of contamination exposure and control. • Completion of a LEV test report and service schedule.
