LEV TESTING RIPON |
Regular LEV testing is a legal requirement of COSHH, (Control of substances hazardous to health) regulations. Local exhaust ventilation testing (LEV) has to be carried out every 14 months. This is to ensure your extract is working efficiently to carry away any dangerous or harmful contaminants that may be breathed in by staff working on the premises. Ensuring a safe working environment and clean air for all staff. These regulations apply to all extraction units whether dust extracts, welding fume, chemical fume cupboards, oil mist and smoke extract units. In 2017 a report from the HSE stated that over 12,000 lung disease deaths per year in the UK are related to past exposure of harmful and dangerous chemicals and dust whilst at work. Many more non fatal lung related illnesses are reported year upon year due to employer negligence as a direct result of extract maintenance failing below par.
