Oskar Products – A Breath of Fresh Air for Manufacturers
March 3, 2011
Conforming to health and safety regulations is a fundamental issue within industry. The two key regulations that apply to dust control in the workplace are COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) and ATEX, which is based on two European directives and forces employers to classify into zones any areas where hazardous explosive atmospheres may occur.
It’s a well-known fact that within the modern manufacturing plant, many nasty toxic fumes are produced on a daily basis. Toxic fumes are a health hazard for everyone working there though simple changes in the workplace can make it a much safer place. What’s more employers don’t need sick or injured employees or even legal action delaying production.
There’s a big choice of relatively simple solutions to deal with harmful and hazardous fume and dust issues from free hanging arms and filter packages to full exhaust systems, downdraft tables, blowers, modular ventilation systems and portable units too. And because fume extract can require any mixture of air cleaning, air removal and air treatment, there are a variety of options available.
COSHH states that the main method of removing dust should occur at source. Proper in-house cleaning can reduce, and even eliminate, the requirement for ATEX zoning. Some people consider large-scale ventilation to be the best option for air cleaning, but there are many arguments to choose local on-tool extraction directly at the source of the problem.
Most systems are designed to manage everything from corrosive fumes to abrasive dusts and powders. In addition, the correct fan will ensure the correct flow and static pressure for your specific application.
Specific or general filtration of the air in your plant and manufacturing facility is more than a human resources consideration for your employees. Appropriate fume extraction is governed by various agencies and the plant manager or manufacturing director has to ensure all health, safety and welfare issues are met and even exceeded through the installation of safe, cost-effective and well designed extract systems.
Whether your air treatment requirement is for a welding or soldering operation, a machining plant, painting company, laboratory (where even higher air standards are required), there is a fume extraction system prepared to meet your individual needs.
The extraction of dust and fumes requires a system with technological know-how, a system designed for the rigors of factory working. A comprehensive range of extraction models can be seen here; contact Clever Engineering for prices.
