LEV Testing
Local Exhaust Ventilation Testing, or LEV Testing for short, is the process of ensuring ventilation systems are functioning correctly. All LEV systems must be tested every 14 months, as per The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSSH) Regulations 2002.
Regulation 9.1 COSHH states that “every employer who provides any LEV to meet regulation 7 shall ensure that it is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, in good repair and in a clean condition.”
The only way to remain in compliance with this legislation is to have your LEV Testing carried out at least once every 14 months by a professional.
Why Is LEV Testing Important?
LEV Testing is important because malfunctioning ventilation systems can result in employees developing potentially fatal occupational diseases. Inhalation of dust, vapours, fumes and other harmful particles can cause serious respiratory problems and lead to lung cancer, asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and silicosis.
The potential dangers of dust and fumes can spread beyond just your employees. The negative impacts of sub-standard ventilation systems can affect the general public in your surrounding area too. Should your company be responsible for this type of air pollution, you could find yourself in a lot of trouble.
