LEV Testing
Stockcode:
What is LEV?
A dust or fume system is classed as Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) if it is used to control or capture airborne releases on, at, or close to the point of emission and then convey them back to a point where they can safely be collected or released. A simple guide to buying and using LEV from the HSE can be found by clicking this link “clearing the air”.
