Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) Update by HSE

LEV – An Employer’s Guide to Competence.

You have a legal responsibility to ensure that employee exposure to dust/fumes etc. is minimised and well controlled. LEV is an excellent way of doing this. People who supply, examine and maintain LEV need to be competent otherwise your LEV may not work properly, putting people’s health at risk.
