LEV Management for Duty Holders Training Course

LEV Training Course

Course Name: LEV Management for Duty Holders
schedule

Course Duration: Approximately 6 hours of study

Exposure to dust, welding fumes or other airborne contaminants is linked to a number of severe and life-threatening conditions. Any workplace where these threats are present needs a Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system to keep workers safe. But inadequate, poorly maintained or misused systems make little to no difference.

Develop the knowledge you need to choose the right LEV system for your workplace, train staff on its use and oversee daily checks and maintenance with our LEV training course. You’ll learn about the design and function of LEV systems in the workplace to keep staff safe, plus the relevant legislation you need to know as a duty holder.

The course also comes with two free e-Checklists that give you a step-by-step guide through pre-use checks and routine inspections, both critical parts of the LEV management process. The e-Checklists also give you the option to document your work digitally for easy record-keeping.

Customer Feedback

Why is this LEV Training Course Important?

Every year, occupational lung diseases cause around 12,000 deaths. And nearly 400,000 working days are lost in the UK due to work-related respiratory issues. Most of these life-changing conditions are the result of inhaling dust, fumes or other toxins at work.

If the threat of airborne contaminants is present in your workplace, a LEV system is essential to keep people safe. A properly designed, maintained and deployed LEV system removes airborne contaminants before people breathe them in.

But an estimated 60% of LEV systems are not properly tested or maintained, leaving workers and businesses vulnerable to the harm of airborne contaminants.

Our LEV online course gives duty holders the knowledge they need to procure the right LEV system, maintain it in proper working condition, ensure compliance and keep staff safe.

What are your Responsibilities Regarding Dust, Fumes or Gasses at Work?

Hazardous dust, fumes or gases are present in many working environments. Employers have a number of duties to protect their staff from the potential harm of these airborne contaminants.

These duties include:

  • Conducting in-depth risk assessments to identify and control potential hazards associated with harmful dust, fumes or gases
  • Implementing appropriate safety measures to control and minimise health risks, such as installing ventilation systems, enclosing processes or offering effective respiratory protective equipment
  • Providing comprehensive, adequate and accessible training to employees and workers operating LEV systems
  • Monitoring and reviewing control measures regularly to ensure they’re sufficient

This LEV training course gives duty holders the knowledge needed to fulfil these responsibilities and use LEV systems effectively to protect their workers and business.

About This LEV Training Course

Any working environment that creates harmful airborne contaminants requires a LEV system to efficiently remove them from the air and keep workers safe.

As a duty holder, you’re responsible for procuring the right LEV system for your site, providing training for staff and ensuring the system is checked daily and safe to use. Failing to do so puts your workers at risk and exposes you to the financial losses, reputational harm and legal action that can result from a workplace incident.

This LEV training course gives you the knowledge you need to select, maintain and manage a LEV system that protects your staff and business from the risk of airborne contaminants.
