What is Local Exhaust Ventilation?

Every year, thousands of workers in Britain develop occupational diseases from breathing in certain dusts, fumes or other airborne contaminants at work.

Effective LEV or dust/fume extraction can carry away airborne contaminants before they can be breathed in. Compliance LEV can support you in complying with every requirement of the COSHH Regulations 2002  including LEV testing  (also known as a COSHH test or Thorough Examination and Test). 

Our services are available in Scotland and throughout the UK. In addition, we can then repair or replace your LEV system should it be required.

Supporting SMEs in their Wood Dust Exposure Risks

In early 2022 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) completed a project to update the evidence base on wood dust exposure risks in British manufacturing industries. In so doing, HSE gained a better understanding of how it could support small and medium-sized woodworking enterprises in controlling exposure to wood dust.

Updating the Evidence Base and supporting SMEs in their Wood Dust Exposure Risks (hsl.gov.uk)

There is a legal duty on employers to ensure that workplace exposures do not exceed a given workplace exposure limit (WEL), to follow good control practices and, for carcinogens and asthmagens, to reduce exposure to as low a level as is reasonably practicable (ALARP). Exposure to any wood dust can cause asthma and dermatitis, whilst exposure to hardwood dust can also cause sino-nasal cancer.
