LEV Commissioning – Getting It Right
Free Professional Development Conference | 11 September 2026
LEV Commissioning is the decisive moment where legal responsibility meets proof of exposure control.
Practical guidance, expert insight and defensible compliance strategies for LEV Duty Holders.
Competent commissioning provides verifiable evidence that an LEV system is effectively controlling exposure and performing as intended.
HSE Focus for 2026 and Beyond
LEV commissioning is now a declared inspection and intervention priority.
If commissioning is weak:
- Exposure control cannot be assured
- COSHH compliance becomes difficult to defend
- Future TExT assessments may become unreliable
“Commissioning is not simply producing a document —
it should prove that exposure is controlled.”
Please note: This event is exclusively for Duty Holders and senior responsible persons. Unfortunately it is not open to LEV contractors or suppliers.
Who Should Attend
- Duty Holders with COSHH responsibilities
- Health & Safety Managers
- Facilities and Engineering Managers
- Occupational Hygienists
- Compliance Managers
- Senior personnel overseeing LEV contractors
This conference is designed to help Duty Holders:
- Understand what “adequate, competent commissioning” really looks like
- Ask the appropriate technical questions of LEV designers, installers and commissioning engineers
- Ensure commissioning is aligned with HSE expectations
- Interpret commissioning data with confidence
- Strengthen oversight of LEV contractor performance
- Improve long-term LEV management and compliance outcomes
The aim is simple: better commissioning decisions, stronger exposure control, and more defensible compliance under COSHH.

Each topic will be delivered as a focused 20–30 minute presentation, immediately followed by a 20-minute dedicated Q&A session.

“Commissioning is not simply the act of producing paperwork.”
It should provide verifiable, definitive proof that the LEV is controlling exposures.
