LEV testing is a legal obligation that must be carried out by any employer who uses local exhaust ventilation (LEV) for dust and fume extraction.

This equipment controls substances hazardous to a person's health. All equipment must be in compliance with Regulation 9 of the COSHH Regulations.

The employer must ensure that LEV equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in proper working order and in good repair.

LEV testing should be carried out at least once every 14 months and in some industries far more frequently.

FAQS

WHAT DOES LEV STAND FOR?

LEV stands for local exhaust ventilation. It is a system that is used in various workplaces to protect workers from hazardous substances.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD LEV TESTING BE DONE?

As an employer you are responsible for maintaining LEV systems that are used in your workplace. A thorough examination of the system should be carried out every 14 months as a minimum.

By LEV testing often you will be able to identify if any part of the system has failed such as the hood. Without thorough testing you risk the health and safety of your workers.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF LEV TESTING?

During a LEV test, the examiner will inspect and evaluate the LEV system by:

- Visual examination and component testing: This includes checking the filters and ducting to ensure they are working correctly and to standard.
- Particle count test: Particles that have been captured by the LEV system are tested to check how effective the system is working.
- Reports: After the test a report will be written out outlining what was tested and found during the test.

As well as this, the report will include advice and recommendations if your LEV system needs improving. It is important to note that as an employer you are required to keep the report for a minimum of 5 years.

What is COSHH?

COSHH, or Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, is UK legislation that safeguards workers from harm caused by hazardous substances. It requires employers to assess the risks of hazardous substances such as dust and fumes and properly monitor and remove these to maintain a healthy work environment.
