What is LEV Testing:

Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) checks, help control the release of hazardous airborne substances from a process into the workplace environment.

Why carry out LEV testing:

The aim of LEV checking is to control the emission as close as possible to the point of release, and prevent it from entering the air of the workplace.

Who should carry out LEV Testing:

Anywhere with extraction units and/or that produces fumes, a few examples of workplaces and processes include:

• Wood and carpentry manufacturers
• MOT Stations
• Restaurants with exhaust ventilation units
• Industrial processes that produce paint fumes and solder fumes
• Shot blasting and sand blasting processes
• Air conditioning units
• Furniture makers
