C.O.S.H.H Testing

All our C.O.S.H.H LEV tests provide an extensive report that fully complies with HSE COSHH regulations, conducted by a competent and experienced individual.

What is C.O.S.H.H?

Requirements

These state the minimum requirements for improving the health and safety protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.

Regulation 9 of COSHH requires that any control measure taken to comply with regulation 7 must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order, and in good repair.
LEV (local exhaust ventilation) systems should be tested at least every 14 months, subject to minimum frequencies for LEV systems used in conjunction with processes listed in Schedule 4 to regulations 9 {2} {a}.
Regulations also specify that records shall be kept of the results of the tests including details of any repairs carried out as a result of the examinations and tests. These records have to be kept for at least five years.

The thorough examination and test represents a regular audit of the performance of the systems and comprises:

A visual inspection of the plant.
An assessment of its ability to perform the task assigned to it.
A measurement of performance against its design. Where the design is unknown, against an acceptable parameter decided by a competent person.
