Manage LEV effectively with HSE Breathing in dusts, gases, fumes and vapours in the workplace can cause serious, long-term lung damage and often incurable health problems. Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is the most common method of controlling workers' exposure to such airborne contaminants. Unfortunately, it is often not effective enough. Employers are regularly misled by suppliers and select and install LEV controls that don't work and/or cost too much. Once installed, LEV controls are often poorly checked, maintained and examined. Our LEV:Practical Management of Controls training course will demonstrate how to successfully manage LEV systems for effective, efficient and reliable control of exposure to hazardous substances. Delegates will be provided with information that will help them to: - Know how to assess work processes and how they emit airborne contaminant clouds
- Understand the principles and key ways to procure effective, reliable and efficient LEV
- Know how to review and improve existing LEV
- Understand how to manage LEV suppliers and contractors
- Know the key things to put in place to manage LEV checking and maintenance, and their role in doing so
- Know the common techniques for assessing LEV effectiveness
- Know how to manage LEV examination and examiners, and be realistic about what to expect
