LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION

Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems capture contaminants at source for safe disposal, airborne products that would have normally been released into the workplace atmosphere.

AEC offer consultants who provide a competent, independent review of your LEV system, which we audit as part of your compliance with COSHH regulation 9.

We provide a thorough examination and test of your LEV system using the following methods:

• All examinations and test procedures follow those outlined in the Health and Safety Executive’s publications HS/G37 “An Introduction to Local Exhaust Ventilation” and HS/G54 “The Maintenance, Examination and Testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation”.

• Wherever possible, five types of investigation/measurement are made on each system: smoke test; face velocity; capture velocity; duct velocity and static pressure.

• Face velocity tests and Capture velocity test

On completion of the review of your LEV system AEC provide a comprehensive report, which documents the legislation, method, system recommendations and the HSE recommended values.

The report also documents a summary of the LEV system examination and test with a schematic drawing showing the measurement positions.
