It is important for employers to protect the health and wellbeing of their employees. Air quality is an important part of this if you work in an industry that produces airborne particles. You may have systems in place for dust and fume extraction, but how much do you know about it? Would you be able to tell if it wasn’t working optimally, and an understanding of what the issues may be it if it’s not? 

It is important to have someone on site who can answer these questions, which can be you or an appointed individual who is competent in dust and fume extraction.. Vent-Tech are the only LEV installers who can provide BOHS training, which means that our training is not only theoretically informative but also will contain practical insights that other BOHS training providers may not have.

Who should do a BOHS course?

All business premises where air quality or airborne particles are considered a hazard should have someone who has a detailed understanding in LEV systems. This person can be anyone who is able to undertake the relevant training, whether this is a manager, supervisor, engineer, or other technical staff.
