"fulfilling your Statutory Obligations and controlling your Running Costs"

LEV test is a dedicated service supplied by Furness Fans Ltd to make sure your company complies with current Health & Safety legislation and COSHH regulations, which ensures that your site and workforce avoids potential health hazards and in turn maintains your system in good working order. This, in turn, will enable you to keep your running costs to a minimum.


There is a statutory requirement for your system to be tested at least once in every fourteen months and, in certain situations more frequently. (For more information on air movement systems, please Click Here to visit our main web site).


LEV (or LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION) describes systems that include extract ventilation preventing people in the workplace from inhaling substances, which may be hazardous to their health. Examples of such systems include dust extraction systems, weld fume systems, and vehicle exhaust systems, which are required to comply with COSHH regulations, and helps you keep your LEV systems operating to their design specifications.


Our LEV test service is undertaken by skilled and experienced engineers who are operational throughout the UK, and are experienced in all types of LEV installations. With each inspection you can expect an accurate service, and because our personnel operate within a reputable ventilation company, we are also able to assist in the design and build of new extraction systems.


If you want to discuss this with our LEV test department simply give us a call on 01229 835555 or email us on enquiries@levtest.co.uk

In any event we recommend that our LEVtest department undertakes an initial inspection and report to confirm to you the operational performance data immediately after installation.
