Design
Producing a design or reviewing an existing one.
It wont come as a surprise that getting things right at the design stage can save a lot of time and investment further into a project. Taking the time to even have a conversation with us could prove to be very beneficial, our business is LEV so we spend almost all of our working time either on site or buried in the guidance documents and regulations surrounding LEV design.
Maintenance
Protecting your investment
LEV systems are not always cheap to install, maintaining these systems is protecting your investment and protecting your work force. We can provide you with a maintenance package to suit your system(s), this can include routine filter changes, periodic cleaning, fan and motor servicing and also include the annual Thorough Examination and Test (TExT).
Statutory Thorough Examination and Testing (TExT)
The legal requirement to have your LEV tested
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 states "Every employer shall ensure that the exposure of his employees to substances hazardous to health is either prevented or, where this is not reasonably practicable, adequately controlled.". Under this regulation you must have your control system testing and thorough examination carried out at least once in every 14 month period.
