LEV testing must be carried out once in every period of 14 months by any employer who uses local exhaust ventilation (LEV) to
control any
dust,
fume or vapour etc. It is also your legal
requirement to ensure that it is
operating effectively and is in good repair. The HSE now has powers to fine you for not complying with the regulation, the fee for intervention is currently £160+VAT per hour from the start of the HSE visit to the conclusion of their report.
Our unique E-Certification system allows you to keep control our all of your LEV Testing reports and certificates. The custom designed system is online 24 hours a day and allows you to access your documentation, eliminating the days of lost or misplaced certificates.

Our LEV examination, testing and records are carried out in
accordance with the HSE requirements of Regulation 9 of the
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
regulations.
The
measurements taken are compared with the criteria for
performance for ventilation systems given in HSG258
“Controlling
airborne contaminants at work: A guide to LEV local exhaust
ventilation”.
