In any environment where dangerous dust and fumes are generated there needs to be a process in place to protect workers from these harmful substances, as defined by HSE COSHH regulations. Often the best way to contain and control such substances is via a local exhaust ventilation system.
To keep LEV systems working efficiently and prevent operative exposure to hazardous fumes and dust, LEVs need to be regularly examined and tested by a competent person, at least every 14 months, as defined in HSE document HSG 258. At Airmec we regularly inspect and test LEVs in various locations and can advise on and undertake remedial works required.
