Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)

There are no statutory Regulations in the Channel Islands for Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems. Both Channel Islands Health and Safety Inspectorate would adopt UK guidance as best practice. It would therefore be a requirement that any LEV systems used to control hazardous substances would require a periodic Thorough Examination.

Andium Engineering can assist you in carrying out these examinations using a variety of techniques using calibrated test equipment.

We will ensure that any enclosures, hoods, ducting, booths and fume cupboards are examined, and we will give you a report in compliance with the current regulations for verification.

We can also carry out spray booth clearance time tests using smoke and issue a report along with a clearance time warning notice, where applicable.

The following are for guidance:

CoSHH – Control of Substances Hazardous to Health 2002 Regulations
The Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law, 1989
ACoP 10 – Safety in the Use of Machinery – Approved Code of Practice 10
Health and Safety at Work etc. (Guernsey) Law, 1979
Health and Safety at Work (General) (Guernsey) Ordinance 1987
The Safety of Employees (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance 1952
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (“PUWER”).
