Who Requires an LEV Test?

Regardless of their sector, every business is obligated to adhere to health and safety laws when dealing with hazardous substances. However, there are certain industries where the likelihood of working with these substances is higher.

In workplaces where an LEV system is employed to extract harmful materials like dust and fumes, regular testing (every 14 months) is necessary to ensure compliance.

Some of the industries where LEV testing is likely to be a requirement include:

Welding
Fabrication
Woodworking
Manufacturing
Engineering
Automotive
Oil & Gas
LEV Testing

What is Involved in LEV Testing?

The LEV TExT (thorough examination and test) will prove that the system has been correctly maintained and that the performance (the volume of air it is processing) is significant enough to control the hazardous substances it was designed for.

There are 3 stages to a thorough LEV examination and testing:

A visual examination of the equipment and fixtures
Measurement of the system’s performance
Assessment of effective control being achieved

What Happens After a LEV Test?

If the engineer who tested your LEV system identifies areas that don’t conform to COSHH regulations, these must be attended to as soon as possible.
If no faults are identified, your equipment has ‘passed’ and you will receive documentation showing a Satisfactory result.
You must keep the results of your LEV test on file for at least 5 years, even if no problems are found.
