Factories
Factory Environments should be tested and inspected to comply with COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health). Testing will be part of the risk assesment to ensure that employees are not exposed to hazardous substances used in the work space that could risk their health and safety. Regular testing should be carried out to ensure that LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) and procedures are operating correctly to minimise potential risks.
