During welding, dangerous gases and fumes can be emitted into the air that when inhaled can cause harm to the welder and the employees on the workshop floor. These particles can then enter the lungs of the employee causing serious health issues. Depending on the type of fumes they are exposed to and the length of exposure the employees can become seriously ill. Some welding fumes are more dangerous than others, with some being classified as carcinogenic.
To counter the inhalation of these particles, a welding fumes extraction device needs to be installed for the health and safety of the employees. At-source welding fume extraction can extract the dangerous fumes as they are emitted, keeping the workshop clean and dust free.
Envirox, supplier of Nederman quality welding fume extraction units, can provide a solution for all your welding fumes extraction and filtration needs.
