Here to help with your LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) testing!

Did you know that the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) COSHH Regulations 2002 (Regulation 9 – Maintenance) stipulate that local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems must be thoroughly examined and tested at least every 14 months by a competent P601 engineer, to help protect the Health and Safety of employees?

A lot of manufacturers don’t know this is a COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) requirement,

But we are here to help. 

Working alongside Donaldson BOFA, the leading fume extraction manufacturer, we can arrange this testing for you and then automatically remind you when the next one is due. A fully qualified engineer will visit your site and check all of your units are working to the required standards to meet the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) COSHH Regulations 2002.


We can also supply the whole range of Donaldson BOFA products from main systems to filters and spares.

We have a brand new catalogue available showing the range we stock, but as an official UK Distributor, we can supply any item from the entire Donaldson BOFA range.

Why is LEV Testing Important?

1. Legal Compliance

LEV testing is mandatory under the UK’s Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations. Failure to conduct regular testing can result in legal consequences, including fines and penalties.

2. Protects Employee Health

Harmful substances such as fumes, dust, and gases can lead to serious health issues like respiratory diseases, asthma, and even cancer. Regular testing ensures that LEV systems are effectively capturing and removing these contaminants, safeguarding employees' long-term health.

3. Maintains System Efficiency

LEV systems can degrade over time due to wear and tear. Routine testing ensures that they continue to operate efficiently, capturing contaminants as they should and preventing any dangerous build-up of substances in the workplace.

4. Reduces Business Risks

Inadequate LEV systems increase the risk of accidents, illnesses, and even legal claims from employees affected by poor air quality. Regular testing minimizes these risks by ensuring a safe working environment.

5. Cost Savings

Preventative maintenance through regular LEV testing can help avoid costly repairs or complete system replacements. It also prevents potential productivity loss due to unplanned system downtime.

6. Demonstrates Corporate Responsibility

Regular LEV testing shows that your business prioritizes employee safety and environmental responsibility. This can enhance your company's reputation and build trust with both employees and clients.
