Keeping the air in factories clean and complying with COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations doesn’t have to be expensive and time consuming. Filtermist UK offers a range of products and services to take the stress out of COSHH compliance so manufacturers can breathe easy knowing the air in their workplace is safe. 

Inhaling oil mist fumes can lead to a range of debilitating respiratory and skin diseases including asthma, dermatitis and even cancer. Whilst there is no specific legislation relating to oil mist inhalation, COSHH recognises a variety of hazards of which mineral oil mist generated during metalworking processes is just one.

COSHH regulations require thorough testing of all Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems every 14 months (to test equipment in all seasons). Filtermist UK provides comprehensive testing working strictly to HSG258 guidelines to ensure COSHH compliance for all of its customers.

Filtermist MD, James Stansfield, says, “Filtermist offers a wide range of products and services to make industrial compliance with COSHH legislation as painless as possible. Having spent 14 years working in the oil mist extraction industry, it still surprises me how little is known about the dangers of fume inhalation. Filtermist is actively developing products with improved features to make manufacturing environments as safe as possible, both for the UK and export markets.”

Routine maintenance also plays a vital role in ensuring industrial compliance with COSHH legislation – spotting issues before they become costly problems with the potential to impact on productivity.

Monitoring air quality by Filtermist’s technicians, as well as using an air-flow guage, ensures any harmful toxins in the air can be identified and dealt with swiftly before they become hazardous to workers’ health.
