Common challenges in the workshop and metalworking industry

Working environment and air quality in metalworking

For the workshop and metalworking industry, production can pose particular challenges related to air quality, the working environment and exposure to airborne particles and gases. Different processes can affect employees’ health, machine performance and the ability of the business to meet working environment requirements.

Common challenges in the workshop and metalworking industry include:

  • Welding fumes that contain airborne particles and gases which, during welding, can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract.
  • Grinding dust that affects both health and machinery by spreading throughout the production environment and causing wear, downtime and reduced air quality.
  • Oil mist from metalworking with cutting fluids can create a slipping hazard, contaminate surfaces and affect both the working environment and sensitive equipment. Read more about air cleaners for oil mist
  • Paint particles and solvents from painting and surface treatment, which affect air quality, comfort and the working environment when the substances are inhaled.
  • Stringent occupational health and safety compliance requirements, with the control of airborne contaminants being a key priority. Effective air cleaning helps meet current working environment requirements.
  • Challenges in attracting and retaining staff in environments where air quality is perceived as poor.
