The reality is that LEV isn’t simply another box to tick for compliance. It’s one of the most important controls protecting employees from harmful airborne contaminants every single day.
Whether your business produces welding fumes, wood dust, metal dust, oil mist, chemical vapours or other hazardous substances, your extraction system is working to remove contaminants before they reach your workforce.
When it’s performing properly, you barely notice it’s there.
When it isn’t the consequences can be significant. Reduced airflow, blocked filters, damaged ductwork or poorly maintained extraction equipment can all reduce the effectiveness of a system without it being immediately obvious.
Your extraction system might still be making plenty of noise.
It might still appear to be extracting but is it actually capturing harmful contaminants where they’re generated?
Effective LEV isn’t just about meeting COSHH requirements or passing a thorough examination and test it’s about:
