Local Exhaust Ventilation - Statutory, Thorough Examination and Tests

The Health and Safety Executive require all businesses to comply with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH). This therefore requires employers to adhere to various aspects of the regulations, and where necessary install and maintain Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems were it is impossible to eliminate the hazardous substance from the work process. Under COSHH regulations, LEV systems must be given a Statutory Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) at least every 14 months. We can carry out Statutory Thorough Examinations and Tests on all types of LEV systems, including Dusts, Fume and Vapour. Typical LEV systems we deal with are Wood Dust extraction, Grain/Malt Dust extraction, Shot-blasting dust extraction, Welding Fume extraction, Paint spray booths, Fume Cupboards, Air Changes Dilution ventilation etc... From the simplest one hood extraction systems to large complex grain handling systems, from small 40mm duct sizes to huge 2m ducts, we can inspect/test them.
