BOHS Endorsed LEV Training Centre

McCarthy Environmental Ltd provides professional LEV design services for businesses requiring effective, compliant, and efficient air pollution control solutions. With over 25 years of industry experience, we design bespoke Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems tailored to the specific requirements of industrial, commercial, and educational environments across the UK.

Our BOHS P602-qualified system designers work closely with clients to develop practical extraction solutions that effectively control dust, fumes, oil mist, vapours, and other airborne contaminants at source. Every system is designed to meet current COSHH regulations and HSE guidance while also considering operational efficiency, energy usage, maintenance accessibility, and long-term system performance.

We provide comprehensive design consultation packages covering every stage of a project, from initial site surveys and concept development through to detailed system specifications and technical drawings. Using advanced 2D and 3D modelling software, we create fully detailed designs that allow clients to visualise the proposed system layout, airflow performance, ducting arrangements, extraction points, and equipment integration before installation begins.

Our design team carefully assesses workplace processes, contaminants, machinery, production layouts, and environmental factors to ensure each LEV system delivers optimal extraction performance while integrating efficiently into existing operations. We can design systems for a wide range of applications including welding fume extraction, dust extraction, oil mist filtration, pharmaceutical containment, woodworking extraction, and specialist industrial processes.

In addition to complete turnkey designs, we also support clients with upgrades, system modifications, performance improvements, and replacement designs for existing LEV installations. Our expertise allows us to identify opportunities to improve airflow efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance overall system reliability and compliance.

McCarthy Environmental Ltd works with leading manufacturers including Nederman, oberA, ESTA, BOFA, Filtermist, Airbench, Absolent, Dustcontrol, and Kemper, alongside our own bespoke manufacturing capabilities. This enables us to provide fully tailored solutions using the most suitable equipment and technologies for each individual project.

By combining technical expertise, practical industry knowledge, and a strong focus on compliance and performance, McCarthy Environmental Ltd delivers LEV design solutions that help businesses create safer working environments, protect employee health, and maintain long-term operational efficiency.

Many industries and processes produce dusts considered hazardous to health. It is well established that exposure to these dusts can cause a range of health problems, so they must be prevented or properly controlled in accordance with the COSHH Regulations 2002 (as amended).

The Airbench FN series are heavy-duty downdraught benches with a fully ventilated top surface. They can be supplied with custom filter configurations to suit specific needs, and the filters are easily accessible via a hinged front panel. Each bench includes a pressure loss gauge to monitor filter condition, with optional speed control available.
