Booking a Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) test is essential to ensure employee safety, comply with legal requirements, and confirm that your extraction systems effectively remove hazardous dust, fumes, and vapours.
By law LEV systems must be thoroughly examined and tested every 14 months. However, if the contaminant being extracted is listed in COSHH Schedule 4, more frequent testing may be required.
If you’re unsure how this applies to your system, we’re always happy to advise. We can help you determine the correct testing interval to ensure you remain fully compliant and your system continues to protect your workforce.
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your LEV system. Smaller and more straightforward systems can often be completed within a few hours, while larger or more complex installations may take a full day.
In most cases we are able to complete the testing within one working day.
If your system doesn’t meet the required standard, we’ll talk you through the findings once testing is complete. You’ll still receive a full report outlining the results, the reasons for the failure and the steps needed to achieve compliance.
Should you wish to proceed with any corrective work, we can discuss the available options and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation to carry out the necessary improvements.
