Why AGS re-balancing is essential for safety and compliance
The Anesthetic Gas Scavenging (AGS) disposal system plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of staff and patients. As a type of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system, its optimal operation is paramount. To maintain performance and safety standards, it is recommended that these systems undergo annual re-balancing and re-commissioning.
How HSE Guidelines and Regulations apply to AGS Systems
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), handling, producing, or processing substances hazardous to health that release dust, fumes, or gases into the workplace atmosphere necessitates the implementation of controls. These controls must prevent or adequately manage exposure to hazardous substances, as mandated by current legislation. Additionally, HSE guidelines emphasize the importance of preventative maintenance and the statutory requirements for the formal examination and testing of LEV systems, aligning with COSHH and other regulatory standards.
