PPM Maintenance Schedules

In addition to statutory examinations, PPMs provide a structured and proactive approach to maintaining LEV systems. It ensures systems continue to operate effectively and safely while supporting ongoing compliance with HSE guidance (HSG258).

Implementing PPM schedules is a best practice that allows employers and duty-holders to establish routine checks. This will help reduce the risk of breakdowns, maintain performance, and ensure the continued protection of staff from airborne hazardous substances.

A few example tasks of a PPM schedule include, but are not limited to:

✅ Daily user checks for correct airflow and damage to hoods or ducting

✅ Monthly inspection and cleaning of filters, hoods, and duct inlets

✅ Six-monthly inspection of fans, belts, and change of pre-filter

✅ Annual thorough examination and performance testing by a P601 qualified LEV specialist in accordance with HSG258
