How to protect welders from Hexavalent Chromium (Chrome VI) in Welding Fumes

During welding, operators are exposed to many gases and harmful particles, including Hexavalent Chromium, a substance classified as a known carcinogen. To limit risks, an extraction of welding fumes at source is currently the most effective solution. ENGMAR supports industries in implementing efficient extraction systems tailored to each workstation. How is Chromium VI formed during […]

Industrial Ventilation: 3 essential principles you need to know

In a welding plant, ventilation is essential in ensuring operators’ safety and protecting their health. Here are the 3 main principles of ventilation : According to these three principles, there are 2 main types of ventilation. “Local” ventilation, also known as extraction at source  Pollutants are extracted as close as possible to their emission source by […]

Discover our new MIG/MAG 240 extraction torch!

Welding generates fumes and gases that are harmful for welders’ health, and for the air quality in the workshop. The extraction torche is the most efficient solution to extract welding fumes directly at source, and thus preventing their dispersion into the work environment. We introduce you today ENGMAR new release: the 240 extraction torch. Technical […]

Reducing exposure to welding fume: Further information: Occupational Safety and health administration

Welding health and safety: Australian regulations

In order to manage risk under the WHS Regulations 32-38, a duty holder must: Local exhaust ventilation systems should be designed to provide a minimum capture velocity at the fume source of 0.5m/second away from the welder. Inlets and outlets should be kept clear at all times. Air from a local exhaust ventilation system should […]

Welding health and safety: UK regulations

Fume Control Although general ventilation can help to control exposure by reducing background levels of fume, it is usually ineffective for the control of welder exposure. Consequently, ventilation which removes fume at source, commonly known as local exhaust ventilation, is the recommended method of fume control in the welding industry. Extracting the fume at source […]

Preventive measures against the hazards of welding fumes

Current legislation recommend that companies prioritize alternatives to welding, or modify the welding process to reduce emissions. However, that is not always possible, and is often not sufficient. For optimal efficiency and welder protection, it is then crucial to extract welding fumes as close as possible to their source of emission, preventing them from reaching […]
