Other available dates: email us to book
10 July 2019

Introduction

Poorly controlled exposure to dust and fumes causes a lot of work-related ill-health each year. Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is the most common method of controlling workers' exposure to such airborne contaminants. Unfortunately it is often not effective enough.  Employers are regularly misled by suppliers and select and install LEV controls that don't work and/or cost too much. Once installed, LEV controls are often poorly checked, maintained and examined.

The course will cover

The course will demonstrate how to successfully manage LEV controls in order to get effective, efficient, and reliable control of airborne contaminants, at least cost.

Who should attend?

The course will be of interest to a range of people including:

• Employers
• Managers including those responsible for production, building facilities and maintenance
• Health, Safety & Environment managers
• Engineers, including production and design engineers

• It may also be of interest to professionals involved in LEV design and management including occupational hygienists, ventilation engineers and examiners

Venue

The course will be run at the HSL laboratory in the spa town of Buxton. Buxton is in the heart of the Peak District and has good links to mainline train stations and Manchester International Airport.
