Hi All,
We been notified today that Safety have been looking at the LEV 2 user log document again
and HSE guidelines (HSG258) and think the current requirement to complete the log for each
individual use of the LEV is too much. They are now happy for a single daily check
recorded in the user log, and will produce a new user log that would just include three
columns - the date, adding a tick to say visual and audio checks were completed, and
adding some initials.
Each user would just need to check the log just to ensure the daily check has been
formally completed - if it hasn't, then it can be done at that point (the first user
that day gets to do it).
Safety will amend the LEV 2 user form and share it with us soon, but we can continue to
use the original version we already have in place and the only change will be moving to
recording daily LEV checks instead of needing to record the checks each time the LEV is
used by a different person.
Sounds sensible.
Please alert all your lab users to this change.
Have a good weekend!
Lindsey
