LEV Duty Holder (Free) 2-Day Conference Sept 2026

LEV Duty Holder Professional Development Day

FREE Professional Development Conference for LEV Duty Holders

If you are responsible for LEV within your organisation, this event is designed specifically for you.

LEV Duty Holders carry significant legal and practical responsibility under COSHH.

Selecting competent contractors, specifying appropriate systems, ensuring effective Thorough Examination & Testing, and demonstrating ongoing compliance require more than basic awareness — they require informed judgement.

This focused one-day Duty Holder Conference will strengthen your competence and confidence as a Duty Holder. It explores not only your legal obligations, but what “good” genuinely looks like in LEV design, contractor selection, system management, and regulatory compliance.

Please note: This event is exclusively for Duty Holders and senior responsible persons. It is not open to LEV contractors or suppliers.
