Welding and cutting fume removal20 Jul 2021European welding association (EWA)
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!
Welders should take great care to ensure that both they and their co-workers are safe and avoid spreading dangerous welding fume throughout the facility. There are quite a number of guidelines one must adhere to in order for them and their colleagues to return home, safely, every day.
We are very happy to announce that our Canadian colleagues of the Industrial Products division have moved into a new office building in May 2021. The new office provides plenty of space for our offices, a large warehouse...
It is common sense to keep welding fumes in the breathing zone of a welder below a certain limit [1]. Personal protection, source extraction and good general ventilation are the essentials for completing a welding job as safely as possible. Everybody should realise that personal protection is as important if not more so at this time, as Covid-19 (or the “coronavirus”) continues to spread worldwide.
