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.
Every job in Warwickshire gets a written quote before it starts and a commissioning record when it finishes. We cover Rugby, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick, Bedworth and Stratford-upon-Avon and the villages around them.

What the work 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.

Woodworking, cutting and grinding extraction with filtration.
Booths and hoods
