The COSHH Regulations impose a duty to ensure that all LEV systems must be inspected & tested by a competent person at least every 14 months.
At Anchem Laboratories, we offer thorough and reliable testing and inspection of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems to help you maintain a safe and healthy working environment. .
LEV systems are designed to capture harmful dusts, fumes, and vapours right at the source, protecting your team from exposure to airborne contaminants. Regular inspection and testing isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal requirement under workplace health regulations.
Our experienced team carries out detailed assessments in line with official guidance to make sure your systems are working effectively.
This includes measuring air movement (such as capture and face velocities), checking for wear and tear, and making sure all parts, from enclosures to extraction hoods, are functioning properly. We also inspect filters, fans, and other control components to ensure your whole system is running as it should.
