Filtermist improves LEV offer

Manufacturers across all industry sectors have been crying out for quicker LEV reports and Filtermist International has responded by ensuring all of its LEV engineers produce electronic reports that can be completed and returned within 10 days.

Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is an engineering control system used to reduce exposures to airborne contaminants in the workplace such as dust, mist, fume, vapour and gas.

Companies are legally required through CoSHH regulation 9 to ensure LEV systems are operating effectively to protect their staff, with LEV testing by a competent person required at least once every 14 months. Some LEV systems require more frequent testing depending on the nature of the application.

Filtermists’ large team of engineers are responsible for installing, servicing and LEV testing oil mist, smoke, fume and dust extraction systems for clients in a variety of industries across the UK.
