Local Exhaust Ventilation Plant (LEV)

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) require that where LEV equipment is used as a control to eliminate dust, fumes etc., then that equipment must be thoroughly examined. The frequency of inspections is dependent on the type of pollutant being controlled.

Our engineers will measure the effectiveness of the equipment and advise on any remedial action required.

In addition to the thorough examination, regular maintenance and inspection is required by the User. A number of publications related to specific industries with requirements for LEV are available from the Health and Safety Executive website ( www.hse.gov.uk opens in new window).
