What documentation will inspectors ask for during an LEV compliance check?

During an LEV compliance check, inspectors will usually ask for the most recent thorough examination and test report. In the UK, this should be completed at least every 14 months and follow HSG258 guidance.

They may also ask for records showing defects identified, actions taken, and maintenance carried out. Evidence that issues were addressed promptly is just as important as the test itself.

Training records for employees using the LEV system can also be requested. Inspectors want to see that users understand how the system should be used and why it matters.

Clear, organised documentation demonstrates that LEV isn’t treated as a tick-box exercise, but as part of ongoing exposure control.
