THE DANGERS OF WELDING & GRINDING FUMES FOR WORKERS

Welding, cutting, and grinding operations generate a variety of airborne contaminants that pose serious occupational health risks. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, skin and eye irritation, fatigue, and long-term illnesses including cancer. Effective fume extraction and filtration is critical to protect your employees and maintain a safe, compliant work environment.

Harmful Contaminants Found in Welding & Grinding Fumes Include:

Industrial Air Filters for Welding & Grinding Systems

A huge component to the efficiency of your unit is the filter. If your filter is dirty and clogged – efficiency can go way down and even though you hear your system running, it may become ineffective in this condition. We offer a regular maintenance schedule to ensure your unit is running at peak performance and your employees are breathing clean air. We tailor your maintenance program to you based on how many hours a week your work team is working in their environment.
