What is LEV?
LEV stands for Local Exhaust Ventilation a system designed to remove airborne contaminants directly at the source. In practical terms, it protects workers from dust, furnes, and harmful particles generated by various industrial processes.

Why LEV Matters
If you’re grinding, sanding, welding, or working with chemicals, you’re creating airborne risks. Prolonged exposure to hazardous air can lead to long-term health problems and even prosecution if you’re not following HSE guidelines.

The Benefits of LEV Systems

• Health Protection-Keeps workers safe from respiratory risks.
• Regulatory Compliance-Meets COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) requirements.
• Cleaner Workspaces-Reduce residue and improve overall air quality.
• Lower Insurance Risk Demonstrates that your business takes safety seriously.

Key Components of an LEV System

• Hoods-Capture the contaminants at the source
• Ducting-Transports particles to the filtration unit.
• Filters-Clean the air before it’s released back into the environment.
• Fans-Power the airflow through the system.
