P601 – EXAMINATION AND TESTING OF LEV SYSTEMS
NOTE when BOOKING
The P601 Courses are being run both as Webinar and Face-to-Face variants – and sometimes on the same set of dates. Webinars are run ‘live’ using the Zoom platform and the face-to-face courses are run at the Hilton Hotel. Leicester.
Do make sure when booking that you select the correct ‘best option’ for your delegates.
At checkout – there is no need to pay at that stage. We will send out Invoices approx 5-6 weeks prior to the course start date.
P601 is a 4-day training LEV Examination and Testing course which covers both the theory and practice for LEV practitioners to undertake the Maintenance, Examination & Testing of LEV plant.
At the conclusion of the course delegates will be equipped with the basic knowledge of how to undertake a competent CoSHH Reg 9 “Thorough Examination and Test” (TExT) on LEV plant. The course follows very closely HSE’s Guidance on LEV – HSG258 (a copy of which is included with the course handouts).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
On completion of P601 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 correct LEV test equipment.
- Record the results of TExTs in a suitable format.
REQUIREMENTS
Some knowledge of LEV plant and be competent in basic maths (eg. areas of circles, square roots, etc). No other specialist knowledge is required.
IS THE P601 TRAINING COURSE FOR YOU?
This course is ideal for engineers, supervisors, managers, health & safety professionals and technical staff who may deal with the specification, design, testing, checking or management aspects of LEV plant.
PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
The P601 proficiency qualification can be combined with other BOHS modules. These include P602 , P603 , P604 and W201 . In this way delegates may gain additional professional recognition.
With success in the P601 LEV Course this can also contribute towards gaining a Certificate of Operational Competence in Control which carries the privilege of being able to use the post-nominal letters ‘CoC (Control)’.
Completion of the P600 series of LEV training courses and also completion of W201 or equivalent, may permit candidates to become eligible for membership of BOHS at Licentiate level (LFOH(S)). See BOHS for more details.
