We now supply and fit Air Flow Indicators

The HSE's LEV guidance HSG 258 recommends that airflow indicators (such as manometers) are fitted to the hoods of the LEV system.

As an employer you do by law have to make sure your LEV system keeps working properly. One of the main reasons why LEV doesn't do what it should is because the airflow falls for some reason (due to a build-up of material, damage to ducting etc), becomes inadequate and if effective control is lost.

The airflow indicator will provide you with the reassurance that the flow-rate is maintained, that the protection for employees is there and that you're not wasting money.

The type of airflow indicator to be fitted

This will depend on the level of potential health risks. If risk is low, a standard manometer will be appropriate. More hazardous substances and high risk situations may require more sophisticated, and potentially more costly, indicators e.g. with an alarm if airflow drops too low.

Whatever indicator is chosen, it will need to show clearly whether the airflow is adequate.
