COSHH LEV Inspections in Eccles

Local exhaust ventilation systems across Eccles protect workers from hazardous airborne substances generated in manufacturing, engineering, and commercial processes, and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require that every such system is thoroughly examined and tested at least every fourteen months. Safe Lee Inspection & Consultancy provides COSHH LEV testing throughout Eccles, from welding fume extraction arms in Patricroft Industrial Area's fabrication shops to dust extraction systems in woodworking businesses on Peel Green Industrial Area. Barton Business Park hosts manufacturing and processing operations where solvent vapours, adhesive fumes, and process dusts are controlled by LEV systems that must perform to their original design specifications. Eccles' former textile and foundry heritage has given way to a diverse modern economy, but airborne hazards remain prevalent — engineering workshops generate grinding dust and metalworking fluid mist, vehicle body repair shops operate spray booths requiring effective extraction of isocyanate paint fumes, and food processing operations produce cooking vapours and ingredient dusts. The warehousing facilities along the Ship Canal corridor include battery charging areas for electric forklift fleets, generating hydrogen gas that ventilation systems must disperse safely. Our engineers test the complete LEV system from capture point to discharge, measuring face velocities at each hood and slot, inspecting ductwork for leaks, blockages, and corrosion, checking filter condition and pressure drop, and verifying fan performance against design parameters. Many Eccles businesses are surprised to discover how significantly their LEV performance has degraded since installation — duct deposits accumulate, damper positions shift, and filter media becomes clogged, all reducing the system's ability to protect workers. We provide the detailed statutory examination reports that COSHH requires employers to retain, along with prioritised recommendations for any system improvements needed. Safe Lee is based in Irlam, immediately next to Eccles, giving us the shortest response times of any independent LEV testing provider in the area.
