P601 – EXAMINATION AND TESTING OF LEV SYSTEMS
Please NOTE that the P601 Course is offered in both Webinar and Face-to-Face formats – and sometimes on the same set of dates. Webinars are conducted ‘live’ using the Zoom platform while face-to-face courses are 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 as 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.
- Record TExT results in a suitable format.
REQUIREMENTS
Prior knowledge of LEV plant and be proficient in basic maths (eg. areas of circles, square roots, etc). No other specialist knowledge is necessary.
IS THE P601 TRAINING COURSE FOR YOU?
This course is ideal for 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 W201 . This allows delegates to achieve additional professional recognition.
Upon successfully completing the P601 LEV Course 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)’.
Completion of the ‘P’ series of LEV courses along with W201 or equivalent, may also make the candidate eligible for BOHS membership at Licentiate level (LFOH(S)). See BOHS for further details.
