LEV Testing Services

Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems play a critical role in protecting employees from hazardous airborne contaminants such as dust, fumes, vapours, and gases. Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, LEV systems must be thoroughly examined and tested at least every 14 months.

LEV testing is a detailed inspection and performance assessment of your extraction systems to confirm they are:
