COSHH LEV Inspections
COSHH LEV Testing
COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations require most LEV systems to be thoroughly tested at least once every 14 months.
These regulations apply to all oil mist, wood, welding fume, smoke and dust extraction units that you currently have on site. This examination must be undertaken by a competent person and the tests and reports must conform to HSE standards. HSG258 provides the recommended procedures to achieve these statutory requirements.
"Regulation 9 of COSHH requires that any control measure taken to comply with regulation 7 must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. LEV systems should be examined and tested at least once every 14 months."
Western Air Ducts are able to assist our clients to meet their Testing needs, no matter how small or large, by providing a total testing solution to assist with effective compliance. This includes airflow gauges which are often "recommended" by the HSE and as a company Western Air Ducts can supply and fit them.
