LEV Testing across Staffordshire
Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics heritage — represented by Wedgwood, Portmeirion, and Emma Bridgewater — generates some of the UK's most specific COSHH LEV requirements, with silica dust from clay preparation and kiln operations mandating thorough LEV system testing. The city's Festival Park and Etruria Valley industrial areas have evolved into mixed logistics and manufacturing hubs, adding LOLER, PSSR, and PUWER inspection demand alongside the ceramics sector.
Safe-Lee Inspection & Consultancy is based in Irlam, with fast access across Staffordshire via the motorway network. We provide lev testing for employers in all the major towns and business parks listed below — issuing clear written reports that document all findings, classify defects by risk, and specify any remedial timescales required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What LEV testing is required for silica dust control across Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics industry?
Every LEV system used to control silica dust at Stoke-on-Trent ceramics manufacturers — from clay body preparation and glaze mixing through to kiln loading and fettling operations — must be thoroughly examined and tested by a competent person at least every 14 months under COSHH 2002. Silica dust is classified by the HSE as a Group 1 carcinogen, placing these systems among the highest-priority LEV types for enforcement attention. The examination must verify capture velocity at each hood, measure duct airflow, check fan performance, and confirm filter integrity — not merely check that the system is running. An LEV system that is running but performing below its design specification provides inadequate protection even if visually intact. Safe-Lee provides LEV testing for ceramics manufacturers and industrial businesses across the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area.
