LEV Inspections

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require employers to operate and maintain extraction and Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Plant in a safe condition. An initial COSHH assessment should be performed on LEV plant, to determine the level of hazard and amount of airborne contamination, using air sampling. This LEV assessment will determine whether the system is sufficient and provides a benchmark for future thorough examinations.

The local exhaust ventilation regulations (COSHH reg 9) then stipulate a14 monthly, 6 monthly or monthly LEV inspection, including examination and testing by a competent person.
