If your workplace produces dust, fumes, mist, or vapours, you need regular LEV testing to make sure your control system is removing airborne contaminants effectively.
AEC provides independent local exhaust ventilation testing and LEV inspection services across the UK. Our BOHS P601 qualified consultants assess performance, measure airflow, and identify faults that could reduce control or increase exposure risk.
If you need a clear, practical view of how your system is performing, contact AEC to discuss your LEV testing requirements.
LEV testing checks whether a local exhaust ventilation system is capturing and removing harmful airborne contaminants at source.
A full local exhaust ventilation inspection looks at the complete system, including:
The aim is simple. Confirm that the system is doing its job and protecting workers as intended.
Without regular LEV testing, extraction systems can lose efficiency over time. Airflow can drop, blockages can form, and contaminants can escape into the workplace air.
Regular LEV inspection helps you:
For many workplaces, LEV testing UK is part of routine compliance and occupational hygiene management.
Our local exhaust ventilation testing service provides a full system performance assessment.
We inspect:
You receive a clear report with the findings, measurements, observations, and practical recommendations.
📌 Our approach follows industry best practice under HSG258: Controlling airborne contaminants at work.
A proper LEV inspection supports legal duties under COSHH where airborne contaminants are present.
If your process generates dust, fumes, or vapours, regular testing may be needed depending on the system, the process, and the level of risk. A reliable LEV test gives you evidence that your controls are working and helps you keep records in order.
This service is essential for workplaces that rely on air extraction systems, including:
If your process depends on extraction, then LEV testing near me is not just a search term. It is a real compliance need.
AEC provides independent occupational hygiene services focused on clear reporting, technical accuracy, and practical guidance.
Our consultants are BOHS P601 qualified and experienced in LEV inspection, system testing, and exposure control.
We do not just measure performance. We explain what it means, what is working, what is not, and what action is needed next.
LEV testing often forms part of a wider workplace risk management strategy. You may also benefit from:
These services support full occupational hygiene and compliance management alongside LEV testing.
These sources support best practice for local exhaust ventilation testing and workplace exposure control.
If your system has not been tested recently, it may not be performing effectively or meeting compliance expectations.
LEV testing checks whether a ventilation system is effectively capturing and removing harmful airborne contaminants at source.
Typically every 14 months, depending on system use and risk level.
You receive a detailed report with results, observations, and recommendations.
Yes. AEC provides nationwide LEV inspection and testing services.
