Industry
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) is a system used in workplaces to extract fumes and dust. It is designed to control exposure to hazardous substances and protect workers’ health. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides comprehensive guidance on LEV, including its components, how it works, and its importance in controlling airborne contaminants.
Employer requirements
To ensure the effectiveness of LEV systems, employers should consider the following requirements:
- Identify jobs and activities that cause exposure to hazardous substances.
- Consult reputable suppliers for advice on selecting the appropriate LEV system.
- Involve employees in the design or selection process of LEV systems.
- Ensure proper installation and functionality of the LEV system.
- Install airflow indicators or equivalent devices to monitor airflow.
