COSHH LEV Inspections in Liverpool

Liverpool's industrial diversity means local exhaust ventilation systems are protecting workers across an unusually wide range of sectors, from automotive paint shops at Jaguar Land Rover's Halewood plant to pharmaceutical manufacturing in Speke and woodworking operations in workshops across the city. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 require that all LEV systems undergo thorough examination and testing at least every fourteen months, and Safe Lee Inspection & Consultancy provides this statutory testing throughout Liverpool. Halewood's production lines include paint application processes where spray booth extraction must maintain precise airflow specifications to protect workers from exposure to isocyanate paints. The pharmaceutical and chemical firms in the Speke and Estuary Commerce Park areas operate fume cupboards, process extraction systems, and dust control equipment that must perform within their design parameters. Liverpool's port operations expose workers to container fumigants and cargo dust, requiring effective extraction wherever these substances are handled in enclosed spaces. The city also has a substantial vehicle body repair sector, numerous hairdressing and beauty salons requiring chemical fume extraction, and a strong food manufacturing presence generating flour dust, cooking fumes, and ingredient particulates. Our engineers test the complete LEV system, measuring face velocities and capture efficiency at the point of contaminant release, inspecting ductwork integrity, assessing filter condition, and confirming that fans deliver their rated performance. We also evaluate whether the original system design remains fit for purpose — a critical assessment in Liverpool's older industrial premises where processes may have evolved since extraction was first installed. Safe Lee delivers detailed statutory examination reports with actionable recommendations, serving Liverpool from our Irlam base with direct access via the M62.
