It also covers methodology justifications, reporting of DSEAR/ATEX issues, and practical rules for marking control adequacy, effectively linking data collection to operational observations and inspector concerns.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/oxyl8-initial-text-template-notes/168757/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/oxyl8-initial-text-template-notes/168757.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Ophelia","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-09-28","2026-09-01",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":73},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What should delegates do if a required box in the TExT form does not apply or cannot be completed?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"Fill boxes in rather than leaving them blank.

It is provided on a free to use licence basis although OXYL8 Ltd do retain copywrite.\n2\tThis template is not HSE approved, however it has been discussed at length with HSE LEV specialist representatives who have made observations and suggestions as to its format and layout.  It is therefore as close as it gets to a template which is likely to be acceptable to HSE.\nIt may be that for some LEV systems and processes that the template is ‘over complicated’ but …. in most situations this will represent the full standard required,\n3\tRecent feedback from HSE Inspectors has indicated that they are seeing TExT templates that more closely accord with CoSHH requirements than before ….. however, they are concerned that in many cases TExT Examiners are not filling the forms in correctly or appropriately.\n4\tBe aware that boxes should be filled in and not left blank.  If the box does not apply – say so (using eg N/A or N/R etc).  If the information required for the box cannot be obtained (for operational or safety reasons etc) – say so!\n5\tHSE have accepted that some boxes – eg Methodology, Instruments used, References, etc may be common to a number of TExT reports being undertaken at a single location.  In such cases they have accepted that these boxes could be removed from the Form and put as an Introduction to the set of TExT Reports for that location.\n6\tHSE are currently inviting LEV TExT Examiners to visit their offices to discuss (and justify) their TExT Methodologies and their Report layout and contents.\nBe warned – and be aware!\n\u000f\nObservations:-\nPublished requirements for TExT and guidance on best practice – coupled with information gathered from recent discussions with HSE have highlighted the following issues/ observations (not in any specific order) relevant to TExT Inspections and Reports etc.\nTest as Found! – Normally where undertaking TExT and servicing – would test “as found” and then reconsider TExT results after servicing.  Significant performance changes between pre and post servicing TExT results could cause tester to comment on appropriateness of frequency of servicing and/or client maintenance.\nHoods? - State hood type and shape as well as size in reports\nNo Risk Assessment? – HSE have commented that if there is no Risk Assessment then  TExT examiner should carefully consider the specific situation and – in some cases – TExT surveyor may need to say that as a result the TExT was “inconclusive”?\nDuct Velocity Test Point Position? - When measuring in ducts if cannot get test point at a position greater than 4 duct diameters downstream of turbulence etc – then say why could not do so in the TExT Report\nDuct Velocities measured below Transport Velocities – Pass or Fail?   “That would depend on the process and the substance.  If it was a low use, intermittent process – and internal examination showed to be clean …. then probably ‘Pass’.  If it was a heavier use process and/or substance foreseeable would drop out ….. then probably ‘Fail’.\nHSE made clear they would expect internal examination at every TExT .\nDo therefore prove that you have internally inspected ducts at every Test Point (use borescopes – and images(?) if necessary).\nCaptor Hoods/Captor Distances?\n“Would like to see all TExT Examiners putting “Effective Distance” stickers on  CAPTOR  hoods.  HSE wants calculated Captor Distances (using Fletcher’s Equations) put on hood stickers – not simply using smoke on its own to make that decision.  But do use smoke release to prove that ‘control’ goes at least to that distance.  [Use OXYL8 App – Android or IOS or the Excel spreadsheet version – both of which are free and use Fletchers Equations]\nProcess Observation? “Concerned that TExT examiners were not observing the processes and how the operator used the hood.  These observations should be noted in TExT Reports.\nIf ope","cbCaiqd98HLIPGEN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqd98HLIPGEN","docx",170705,"English","# Template notes and licensing\n# HSE alignment and acceptance guidance\n# Common inspector concerns and required reporting\n## Test conditions, risk assessment, and form completion\n## Hood, duct, and measurement requirements\n## Internal examinations and supporting evidence\n## Control marking, process observations, and parameters\n## DSEAR/ATEX reporting and instrumentation considerations\n## Combining reports and duct test point placement","[{\"question\":\"What should delegates do if a required box in the TExT form does not apply or cannot be completed?\",\"answer\":\"Fill boxes in rather than leaving them blank.
