Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems play a key part in the control of airborne hazardous substances, protecting workers from exposure and reducing the potential from occupational ill-health.
The effectiveness of any LEV system is dependent on a number of factors such as its design, maintenance, and correct operation to ensure that it is performance is adequate in carrying away airborne hazards before they can be breathed in.
LEV systems should capture airborne contaminants at source, preventing them from entering the atmosphere where they can be inhaled by workers resulting in the possibility of ill health occurring. LEV monitoring is a key part to ensuring that the system is working effectively.
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations stipulates that any LEV system used in controlling hazardous substances undergoes a thorough examination and test at least once every 14 months.
At Blue Turtle, we can help you with meeting legal compliance by carrying out the mandatory 14-month LEV examination and testing of your systems. We will review the performance of your LEV systems by carrying out a detailed examination and performing a series of functional tests to determine if it is working efficiently and effectively as per its original design requirements.
