P602 Course overview
This 4-day P602 LEV Design course delivered as a Webinar/On-Line (‘live’ using Zoom) or as a face-to-face event (usually at the Leicester Hilton Hotel).
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.
P602 provides the methodology, theoretical and practical knowledge to enable delegates to design basic LEV systems for controlling occupational exposures to hazardous substances.
Delegates will learn the basic skills to correctly specify LEV systems. And this will include being able to perform calculations for; eg, Benchmarking the correct hood selection, using Fletcher’s Equations for captor hood design, calculating system pressure losses and specifying appropriate fans etc.
Learning objectives
On completion of the P602 LEV Design course delegates should be able to:
- Select the correct Hood required using Benchmarking techniques
- Design basic Partial Enclosures, Captor Hoods, Receptor Hoods etc
- Undertake a full Design exercise for a basic LEV systems
- Undertake Commissioning tests to determine if the system is effective and operating to design specification
- Prepare suitable records of the basis of design.
Pre-requisites
It is desirable for candidates to:-
- have successfully completed P601 “Thorough Examination & Testing of LEV Plant”, or be able to demonstrate an equivalent level of learning
- have a good understanding of HSE’s Guide HSG258 “Controlling Airborne Contaminants at Work“
Delegates must be competent in basic maths and especially in basic algebra; eg able to calculate areas of circles, use square roots, etc.)
No other specialist knowledge is required.
Who should attend?
Engineers, supervisors, managers, health and safety professional and technical staff who have day to day dealings with the specification, design, testing, contract management, and occupational hygiene aspects of LEV plant.
Towards professional recognition and qualification?
The P602 proficiency qualification can be added to other BOHS modules e.g. P601, P603, P604 and W201 (in various combinations) to gain further professional recognition through BOHS, e.g. Certificate of Operational Competence in Control – which permits the successful candidates to use the post-nominal letters ‘CoC Control’ after their name.
In combination with the remaining P600 series of LEV training courses (and W201) candidates may also be eligible for membership of BOHS as Licentiate of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene (LFOH(S)). See BOHS for more details.
