The Law is Clear. 🚩 Under regulations such as COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) in the UK, it's a legal requirement to examine and test LEV systems at least every 14 months. Some processes demand more frequent checks. This isn't bureaucracy; it's a lifeline. Beyond ensuring your LEV system is up to scratch, you're also required to keep records of these examinations for at least 5 years. These documents are not just paperwork; they're proof of your commitment to safety and compliance. Does your business need assistance with LEV Inspections? Not to worry, SQR Group Ltd can assist you.

"I've been told I need my LEV thoroughly examined and tested. What does this mean?" 🤔 Don't worry - we'll break this down for you! Health and safety laws mandate a rigorous assessment of risks from hazardous substances—be it dust, fumes, vapors, etc.—in your workplace. Protecting your workers' health is paramount, and one effective measure is implementing Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems to extract these harmful substances directly from the work environment. Here's What You Need to Know: ▪️Maintenance is Key: Your LEV system must be kept in efficient working order to ensure continuous protection. ▪️Periodic Examinations: A thorough examination and testing of your LEV should be conducted at least every 14 months to comply with regulations. ▪️Record Keeping: It's essential to maintain records of these examinations for a minimum of 5 years. ▪️Adequate Protection: You should have documentation confirming that your installed LEV system provides sufficient protection for the health of your workers, to be kept for the lifetime of the equipment. Understanding and complying with these requirements not only ensures the health and safety of your team but also keeps your operations within legal standards. Need Assistance with Your LEV System?

Safety measures while handling chemicals

OSHA regulations are about keeping workers safe. For large manufacturing plants, this means making sure that the workplace is free from hazards that could cause accidents or health issues. Here’s why they should follow these regulations: 1. Non-compliance will lead to big fines and penalties. So it’s better to stick to regulations so companies can avoid these financial setbacks and the disruption they can cause. 2. Environmental regulations are designed to protect our planet. For manufacturers, this means managing waste properly, reducing emissions, and ensuring that operations don’t harm the environment. 3. When employees see that their workplace is following safety and environmental standards, it improves their morale and productivity. They feel safer and more valued, which translates to better performance and lower turnover rates. 4. Compliance often leads to improved processes and operational efficiency. For instance, regular maintenance and adherence to safety standards can prevent costly breakdowns. Complying with these regulations can clearly help in avoiding trouble and creating a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly workplace. Does your company comply with regulations by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and environmental agencies? #osha #regulations #compliance #operations
