Regular inspections and testing of LEV systems are vital for more than just compliance with health and safety regulations. They are key to identifying potential system inefficiencies or failures early on, ensuring that the systems continue to protect workers effectively.
The examination and testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems should only be conducted by professionals with HSE recognised qualifications in line with HSG258, the thorough examination and testing (TExT) process is vital for certifying the operational effectiveness and compliance of LEV systems with health and safety standards.
Actions and adviceUnder COSHH regulations and HSG258 guidance, LEV systems must be examined and tested at least every 14 months. Failure to comply not only risks legal and financial consequences but also endangers employee health. For processes with higher exposure risks, such as shot blasting, the need for more frequent testing becomes crucial.
