Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)
Local exhaust ventilation is an extract ventilation system that takes airborne contaminants such as dusts, mists, gases, vapour or fumes out of the workplace air so that they can't be breathed in.
Eurovent Purifying provide new LEV installations for systems with weld fumes and have maintenance regimes in place to carry out regular cleaning and air flow checks on existing systems.
If your work produces dust (e.g. flour dust in bakeries), mist (e.g. paint mist from spraying), fume (e.g. from welding), gas (e.g. carbon monoxide from furnaces) or vapour (e.g. solvents from painting), there may be a risk to health.
Employers must prevent or adequately control exposures to hazardous substances, a requirement of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations
