Local Exhaust Ventilation Testing

The Health & Safety Executive estimates that over 12,000 deaths a year are caused by exposure to airborne hazards such as dust and chemicals at work in their past.

COSHH 2002 requires employers to prevent where possible workers’ exposure to these hazards and where not practicable ensure exposure is controlled.

Green Air Monitoring employ specialists qualified to undertake tests to check the ongoing performance of your LEV systems and so help you discharge this obligation. The current frequency for the legal test and examination is at least 14 monthly; an unusual frequency not ideally suited to the most frequently accepted cyclic maintenance regimes. A link to the HSE guidance on LEV is here and can also be found on the Resources page. We will provide you with a thorough report clearly stating the LEV performance and, where non-compliant, we will advise on what is needed to achieve compliance.

Please see our news and resources section for further information and guidance on LEV systems including HSE published documents and guidelines.
