LEV Testing Services in the UK

Ensure Workplace Safety and Compliance with Expert LEV Testing

At Nederman, we offer professional Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Testing services across the UK to help you stay compliant with COSHH regulations and HSE guidelines. With our network of highly qualified and experienced LEV test engineers, you can ensure your equipment meets all legal requirements for controlling hazardous substances in the workplace.

Why is LEV Testing Important?

In the UK, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 mandates regular testing and thorough examination of LEV systems at least every 14 months, and more frequently for certain equipment (e.g. shot blasting units, grinding extracts). LEV Testing is essential to protect workers from harmful airborne contaminants and to ensure your ventilation systems are functioning properly. 

Our LEV Testing Process

Our dedicated team of LEV engineers provides thorough testing and inspection of all types of LEV systems, regardless of design or manufacturer. We follow the strict guidelines outlined in the Health & Safety Executive’s HSG258 to ensure complete compliance.

Our LEV Testing Service includes:

1. Visual Examination
   Inspecting the LEV system to ensure it's in good working order, well-maintained, and clean.

2. Performance Measurements
   Verifying the technical performance of your system, ensuring it matches original design specifications or other relevant benchmarks.

3. Exposure Control Assessment
   Assessing whether the system is adequately controlling worker exposure to hazardous substances.

What’s Included in the Comprehensive LEV Report?

After every LEV test, we provide a detailed report for each piece of equipment tested, in line with HSG258 guidance. Your report will include:

• The name and address of the employer responsible for the LEV system.
• The date of the examination and test, including the date of the last inspection.
• Identification and location of the LEV system, along with details about the process and hazardous substances.
• Operating conditions during the test (normal production or special conditions).
• A simple diagram of the LEV layout with test points for easy reference.
• Photographs and serial numbers for key components, documenting system condition.
• Performance data and any necessary corrective actions to ensure safe operation.
• Results of any air sampling or dust lamp tests related to LEV performance.
• Recommendations for maintenance, repair, or system adjustments before the next scheduled test.

Our engineers also provide a signature to certify the report, ensuring it meets all legal requirements.
