LEV REGULATION

COSHH is the law that requires employers to control substances that are hazardous to health. You can prevent or reduce workers exposure to hazardous substances by:

 

  • finding out what the health hazards are;

  • deciding how to prevent harm to health (risk assessment);

  • providing control measures to reduce harm to health;

  • making sure they are used ; 

  • keeping all control measures in good working order; 

  • providing information, instruction and training for employees and others; 

  • providing monitoring and health surveillance in appropriate cases; 

  • planning for emergencies. 

 

Most businesses use substances, or products that are mixtures of substances. Some processes create substances. These could cause harm to employees, contractors and other people.

Regulation 9 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) and the guidance in HSG 258 states:

 

“The Maintenance, Examination and Testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation” states that LEV COSHH inspections must be carried out at least once in every 14 month period; more regular for some substances and processes."
