How we do it
Under the COSHH Regulations, employers using LEV to control exposure must keep it maintained and have it thoroughly examined and tested, at least every 14 months under COSHH regulation 9 (more often for some processes), with records kept for at least five years. HSE guidance HSG258 sets out how LEV should be designed, commissioned and tested. We install extraction arms, hoods, booths, ductwork and fans, set them up to the capture velocities the process needs, and provide commissioning information and user checks so operators know the system is working day to day.
