LEV Testing

Why should I bother with LEV?

The law says you must control the risks from these substances

(the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

Regulations). Installing LEV may help you to do this.

For more information about other ways of eliminating or

reducing airborne contamination at work look, at HSE's COSHH

website, hse.gov.uk/coshh.

The book above provides guidance on the supply of local

exhaust ventilation (LEV) equipment. It describes the

principles and good practice of deciding on, designing,

commissioning and testing cost-effective LEV.

The guidance is written for the suppliers of LEV goods and

services, but will also be helpful for employers and managers in

medium-sized businesses, and trade union and employee safety

representatives. All of these groups need to work together to

provide, maintain and use effective LEV and to reduce exposure

from inhalation of hazardous substances.

The book contains information about the roles and legal

responsibilities of suppliers and of their clients as employers;

competence; principles of good design practice for effective

LEV hoods and their classifi cation; ducts, air movers, air cleaners;

and system documentation with checking and maintenance

schedules, and the marking of defective equipment.

It also includes guidance on the specifi cation of LEV; the

supplier's quotation; commissioning; zone marking; the user

manual and logbook; testing and hood labels.
