P601 – EXAMINATION AND TESTING OF LEV SYSTEMS
This P601 LEV Course is offered in both Webinar and Face-to-Face formats. For some dates parallel courses are being run in both formats.
Webinars are conducted ‘live’ using the Zoom platform while face-to-face courses are normally held at the Hilton Hotel. Leicester.
When booking do make sure that you select the most suitable option for your delegates.
Payment is not required at checkout. Invoices will be sent approx 5-6 weeks before the course.
P601 is a comprehensive 4-day training programme which covers the theory and practice for LEV practitioners to undertake the Maintenance, Examination & Testing of LEV plant.
At the end of the course delegates will possess the fundamental knowledge of how to undertake a competent CoSHH Reg 9 “Thorough Examination and Test” (TExT) on LEV plant.
The course follows closely the guidance outlined in HSE’s HSG258 (a copy of which will be provided as part of the course materials).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of P601 course, delegates will be able to:
- Evaluate basic LEV systems.
- Understand basic design elements.
- Calculate airflows, velocities, etc.
- Complete CoSHH Reg 9 Statutory Examinations (TExTs).
- Select and use the appropriate LEV test equipment.
- Identify faults and make suitable remedial recommendations
- Record TExT results in a suitable format.
PRE-REQUISITES
Prior knowledge of LEV plant and proficiency in basic maths (eg. areas of circles, square roots, etc). No other specialist knowledge is necessary.
IS THE P601 TRAINING COURSE FOR YOU?
P601 is ideal for LEV Specialists, engineers, supervisors, managers, health & safety professionals and technical staff involved in LEV plant specification, design, testing, checking or management.
PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
The P601 proficiency qualification can be combined with other BOHS proficiency modules including P602 , P603 , P604 and M200 . This may permit delegates to go forward and achieve additional professional recognition.
Upon successfully completing the P601 LEV Course delegates may then complete the remaining ‘P’ series courses which will contribute towards gaining a Certificate of Operational Competence in Control. This carries the privilege of being able to use the post-nominal letters ‘CoC (Control)’
The award of CoC(Control) together with gaining the M200 qualification may then allow the delegate to be awarded LFOH(S) – Licentiate of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene and also permit entry into the Professional Standards Register for “Occupational Hygienists and other Specialists”. See BOHS and our OXYL8 CoC/PSR Newsletter for further details.
