Are you complying with COSHH legislation?

We at 1 2 1 Health and Safety Services Ltd operate a dedicated team of Inspection Engineers trained specifically to test or service & test any system of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) whether supplied and installed by ourselves or other installations and equipment of a similar nature irrespective of its origin.

Our engineers are qualified to British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) P601 standard - Initial Appraisal and Thorough Examination & Testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Systems. As stated in HSG258 the people who test you LEV systems must be qualified to P601 standard - many other companies are not even qualified to carry out LEV Testing.

The current legislation regarding the testing of LEV systems (which includes vehicle exhaust, dust and weld fume extraction systems etc.) may be summarised as follows:

Regulation 9 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Act states that "every employer who provides any control measure to prevent exposure of an employee to a substance hazardous to health, shall ensure that it is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair" in addition, where engineering controls are provided, the employer shall ensure that thorough examinations and tests are carried out and a suitable record of these be kept and made available for at least 5 years.

In the case of local exhaust ventilation plant (LEV) the examinations and tests must be performed at least once every 14 months. (In certain circumstances this period is reduced to every 6 months e.g. where metallic dust is being controlled).

In recognising that this requirement places a substantial burden on our clients, since vehicle exhaust extraction, weld fume and dust extraction systems etc. all fall within this category, 1 2 1 Health and Safety Services Ltd offer to perform the statutory tests and inspections on our client's behalf.

Our skilled and experienced personnel are operational throughout the U.K and are experts in all types of LEV installations, from small workshops and garages to large industrial and commercial premises. We are able to offer our clients tailored services with contract periods to suit individual requirements. This offer extends to any item of LEV equipment supplied and or installed by 1 2 1 Health and Safety Services Ltd or other installation and equipment of a similar nature irrespective of its origin.
