LEV Testing
LEV Testing in the UK
What defines an LEV system?
A system is classed as Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) if it is used to control, capture or contain airborne contaminates such as dust or fumes, at, or close to the point of emission and then convey them to a point where they can be safely collected or released to atmosphere.
An effective LEV system should be well designed and constructed, properly used and maintained in good condition, with regular inspections.
How can RAM Environmental help you?
RAM Environmental incorperates over 18 years of experience, engineers are trained specifically to carry out LEV Testing to the highest standard. We ensure all surveys are carried out in accordance with the Health and Safety COSHH guidlines.
The Local Exhaust Ventilation test is designed to determine the efficiency of an extraction system. It requires the use of airflow instruments to gain results. Engineers analise these results and use invaluable experience to identify design flaws, defects and maintenance issues that might affect the performance of an LEV system.
Upon completion of onsite LEV testing a report is produced that contains the findings of the test. The report is written in strict accordance to regulation guidance, detailing the findings of the survey and any comments and recommendations that are relevent, including remedial work required to ensure the Extraction System conforms to Health and Safety regulations.
LEV testing should be carried out on a forteen monthly basis, some sytems require testing more frequently. Further details of this can be given on request.
Once the survey is complete and the test report issued you will be added to our database. A reminder will then be issued one month before the re-test date in order for you to plan the next examination.
