Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Fume, dust and mist extraction for workshops, with COSHH thorough examination and testing, across the East Riding of Yorkshire.
- From £185 + VAT per system
- Charged visit, price agreed first
Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) captures dust, fume, vapour or mist at the source, such as a welding bench, saw or spray booth, before workers breathe it in. We design and install LEV and arrange the thorough examination and test that COSHH requires at least every 14 months.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has every kind of building, from old terraces to new estates and business parks, and every job is designed around the building in front of us, not a standard kit.

What local exhaust ventilation (LEV) involves
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.

Enclosing hoods and spray or mixing booths.
