HSE Guidance HSG258 (Third Edition published 2017) states: “Every employer’s LEV system requires statutory ‘thorough examination and testing’ by a competent person.”

“The maximum time between tests of LEV systems is set down in COSHH and for most systems this is 14 months (see the exceptions in Table 18). If wear and tear on the LEV system is liable to mean that the system effectiveness will degrade between tests then thorough examinations and tests should be more frequent.”

LEVLOG® allows you to easily view the status of each of your LEV systems and automatically sends reminders when an inspection is due thereby minimising the risk of this being forgotten.

“The employer should keep the examination and test report for at least five years. A copy should be available at the workplace containing the LEV system.”

LEVLOG® stores current and historic inspection reports ensuring that it is always easy to access and download reports when required.
