Ventilation System Compliance Audits

Independent auditing of ventilation systems to ensure safety, performance, and statutory compliance.

At Safe Solutions, we deliver expert Ventilation System Compliance Audits for healthcare estates, commercial buildings, laboratories, and other critical environments. Our audits are designed to verify that your systems are operating efficiently, meeting regulatory standards, and effectively supporting indoor air quality (IAQ) and infection control.

Why Ventilation Audits Matter

Poorly maintained or non-compliant ventilation systems can:

  • Compromise patient safety and infection prevention
  • Increase energy consumption and system wear
  • Lead to enforcement action from regulatory bodies
  • Result in reputational and legal risk

 

Our independent audits provide you with a detailed assessment of your system’s condition, operational performance, and compliance with relevant legislation, standards and best practice guidance.

What Our Ventilation System Compliance Audits Include:

  • Evaluation against (S)HTM 03-01 (Healthcare Premises)
  • Assessment of airflow rates, pressure regimes, and system balancing
  • Inspection of plant condition including Air Handling Units (AHUs), filters, dampers, fans, and controls
  • Review of air quality parameters such as filtration effectiveness and contaminant control
  • Audit of commissioning records, validation reports, and maintenance logs
  • Clear, detailed compliance report with risk ratings and prioritised recommendations
  • Support for remedial planning and revalidation where required

Validation/Verifications of Healthcare Ventilation Systems to (S)HTM 03-01

Ensuring your healthcare ventilation systems meet (S)HTM 03-01 performance and compliance standards.

At Safe Solutions, we provide validation and verification of ventilation systems within healthcare environments, in full accordance with (S)HTM 03-01 – Specialised Ventilation for Healthcare Premises. Whether for new installations, refurbished spaces, or ongoing compliance, our services ensure your critical ventilation systems are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Our Healthcare Ventilation Validation Services Include:

  • Full (S)HTM 03-01 Validation of new, modified, or refurbished ventilation systems
  • Annual or periodic Verification Testing
  • Measurement of airflows, room pressure differentials, and air change rates
  • HEPA filter integrity testing (where applicable)
  • Smoke testing to confirm airflow direction and containment
  • Room classification and cleanliness levels
  • Assessment of temperature, humidity, and noise levels
  • Validation documentation and certification for audit readiness
  • Defect reporting and remedial action planning

LEV Testing – Local Exhaust Ventilation

Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Testing is a legal requirement under COSHH Regulation 9, ensuring that systems designed to capture and control airborne contaminants are functioning effectively and safely. At Safe Solutions, our P601-qualified engineers carry out thorough inspections, testing, and performance evaluations of LEV systems across a wide range of environments, including laboratories, manufacturing, healthcare, and cleanroom settings.

Detailed reports are issued in accordance with HSE guidance HSG258 and include clear findings, performance data, and any remedial recommendations needed to ensure full compliance.

Contact us today to schedule a LEV test.

Cleanroom Validations

ISO 14644 cleanroom testing and validation for critical environments.

Cleanroom Validations are essential for ensuring controlled environments meet regulatory and operational standards – particularly in pharmaceutical, healthcare, biotech, and electronics sectors. At Safe Solutions, we perform cleanroom validation services in line with ISO 14644 standards, ensuring that facilities remain compliant, contamination-free, and audit-ready throughout their lifecycle.

Our engineers conduct in-depth testing to verify that cleanrooms meet required classifications for particle control, airflow, and environmental integrity. Validation services typically include:

  • Non-viable particle counts (ISO 14644-1)
  • Airflow volume and velocity measurements
  • Air change rate calculations
  • HEPA filter integrity (DOP testing)
  • Pressure differentials and directional airflow checks
  • Temperature and humidity monitoring
  • Recovery time testing

 

All validation activities are delivered with minimal disruption to operations and documented in clear, compliant reports, supported by photographic evidence and recommendations where corrective actions are needed.

Air Handling Unit (AHU) Inspections

Optimising indoor air quality and system performance through expert AHU inspections.

Air Handling Unit (AHU) Inspections are a critical part of maintaining effective and compliant HVAC systems, particularly in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments. At Safe Solutions, our AHU inspections are designed to assess system performance, identify potential failures, and support ongoing compliance with ventilation standards such as (S)HTM 03-01. Regular inspections not only extend the lifespan of your equipment but also ensure indoor air quality and patient safety are never compromised.

Our experienced engineers inspect all key AHU components, including:

  • Filters (integrity and replacement condition)
  • Dampers and actuators
  • Coils (condition, cleanliness, and drainage)
  • Fans and motors (performance and wear)
  • Belt tension and alignment
  • Control panels and sensors
  • Airflow direction and leakage checks

 

All findings are presented in clear, actionable reports with photographic evidence and recommendations for any required remedial actions or further testing.
