Any employer who uses local exhaust ventilation (LEV) to
control dust, fume, vapour etc. must ensure that it is
operating effectively and is in good repair. It is your
legal obligation to ensure a formal examination and
test of the LEV system every 14 months.
Our examination, testing and records are carried out in
accordance with the HSE requirements of Regulation 9 of the
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH).
The
measurements taken are compared with the criteria for
performance for ventilation systems given in HSG258
“Controlling
airborne contaminants at work: A guide to local exhaust
ventilation”.
Our engineers
are qualified to British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS)
P601 -
Initial Appraisal and Thorough Examination & Testing of
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Systems. As stated in
HSG258 competence is a legal requirement - many other companies are not qualified to carry
out testing.
If your LEV does not perform
satisfactorily (and some do not, often through poor initial
design or inappropriate additions) we can prepare a free
report to evaluate the design and performance of
the equipment and make recommendations for improvement.
