LEV Monitoring

Is your business properly protecting employees from hazardous airborne substances?

With Malaysia’s Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 and the Use and Standards of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health (USECHH) Regulations 2000, having an efficient Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system is essential. It’s your frontline defense against dangerous dust, fumes, vapors, and gases.

What is Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)?

An LEV system is designed to capture harmful substances at the source before they spread into the workplace environment. It’s a critical measure for controlling exposure to hazardous chemicals, dust, or fumes that can cause serious health issues such as respiratory problems, eye irritation, and long-term diseases like asthma or cancer.

FAQs on LEV Assessment

1. What is an LEV system?

   A Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system captures and removes hazardous substances from the air at their source to prevent exposure to workers and improve overall workplace safety.

2. How often should LEV systems be assessed?

   LEV systems should be tested and maintained at least once a year or more frequently if your workplace uses particularly hazardous substances or processes.

3. What happens if my LEV system isn’t compliant?

   Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, and even operational shutdowns. It can also expose your workers to dangerous chemicals, increasing health risks and potentially leading to compensation claims.
