COSHH Assessment Wales
COSHH inspections and COSHH regulations apply to businesses that use or produce substances hazardous to health in the workplace. This includes vapours from glue or paint, fumes from welding operations, and emissions from certain forklift trucks.
A key method for controlling airborne hazardous substances is using a local exhaust ventilation system (LEV).
Additional legislation requiring LEV equipment operation includes The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 1987 and The Control of Lead at Work Regulations 1988.
COSHH regulations mandate that a competent person conducts regular inspections of LEV equipment, with intervals depending on the trade, business, and specific equipment application.
