As per June 2021 Plymovent joined the European Welding Association.
The European Welding Association (EWA) is an industrial association of manufacturers of welding equipment and consumables as well as National associations from the welding industry from across Europe. Objectives of the EWA are amongst others to represent the interest of its industry in dealings with the governments of the EU countries, the Commission of the EU, other foreign countries and with trade organizations and all other bodies on matters relating to and affecting the industry. In addition, the EWA works on revising existing and promoting new technical standards as may from time to time be necessary for trade throughout the EU and the rest of the world.
One of the key developments at EWA in welding and welding regulations is to protect the welder from hazardous fumes. This can be achieved by welding fume extraction equipment and solutions, which is one of the main areas of expertise of Plymovent.
Plymovent is looking forward to contributing to the EWA and to make sure welders can count on “Clean air at work for everyone everywhere”, the mission of Plymovent!
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is an independent agency in the United States entrusted with the mission of protecting human health and the environment. They dedicate themselves to topics as diverse as air, water and land, chemicals and toxics, waste and cleanup.
What is hexavalent chromium & how to act for best protection.
A recent case (early February 2019) of financial compensation for 800 workers who have been exposed to the hazardous hexavalent chromium in the workshop of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NedTrain-department) in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has again put the spotlight on the danger of this substance.
At-source extraction protects workers in the metal industry and prevents the accumulation of welding fumes, oil mist or grinding dust in the workspace. The use of flexible extraction arms is a good method of removing dangerous fumes and dust when working on small or medium sized objects. These arms can be positioned close to the work area to capture toxic fumes, dust particles and remains of molten metal at the source. Capturing fumes and dust at the source also prevents pollution from spreading over the premises, keeping not only machines and tools but also products and offices cleaner.
