Be compliant

It is important to keep workplace exposure in your school below the legal limits, even in peak-times.

Solutions for exposure to welding fumes

New welders are trained every day. At welding schools the emphasis is often on personal protection like welding helmets, gloves and hearing protection. But the quality of the air inside the workshop is also very important. Inhaling welding fumes can be harmful for your students and health of your staff.

The example function of a school makes it even more important that welding and grinding activities take place without exceeding the legal limits. It is important to protect the welders-to-be, other students and equipment nearby from sparks and spatter during welding activities.

Solutions for welding fume removal

Therefore, high-quality extraction and effective filtration systems are required to make sure that legal limits for welding and grinding are not exceeded. Our products extract welding fumes effectively. We can offer extraction:

  • Attached to your welding torch
  • With mobile filters to move around the workshop
  • At source in a row of welding booths

Your advantages

  • A clean and healthy work environment in the school
  • A workplace exposure to welding fumes within legal limits
  • Protection during welding activities
  • A lower use of electricity and energy consumption
  • A clean and attractive environment even attracts more students

Available solutions

We have developed a line of source capture systems designed to meet your station’s needs.

Solutions for exposure to extract dangerous vehicle exhaust

Educational institutions equip people with the skills they will need to properly repair and maintain all vehicles on the road. As early as high school, students have the opportunity to begin their education and hands on training with internal combustion engine vehicles. This education can possibly continue through vo-tech schools, colleges and universities. Students learn about important operations and should be trained to practice proper safety procedures.

Keep our future mechanics safe and healthy

It cannot go unnoticed that these students can potentially be exposed to serious health and safety risks if necessary precautions are not taken. Many specialized agencies including the World Health Organization (WHO) have long warned about the dangers of internal combustion engine exhaust. Engines running indoors can lead to serious health issues including cancer and exposure to Carbon Monoxide (CO), a.k.a. “the silent killer”.

Therefore, Plymovent has developed multiple solutions that can help educational institutions keep our future mechanics as well as trainers safe and healthy.

Your advantages

  • A clean and healthy work environment
  • A workplace exposure to vehicle exhaust within legal limits
  • Protection of the future mechanics, other students and equipment 
  • A state-of-the-art system might even attract more students

New Diesel Engine Technology and Ultrafine Particles

11 Jan 2019 Health risks

Over the years, modern diesel engines have become cleaner. Or in other words: they have become less pollutable and emit less hazardous fumes. Diesel engines even emit less carbon dioxide than gasoline engines and many diesel engine manufacturers claim that most of the harm of diesel exhaust has been reduced.

Hazards due to diesel fumes are still insufficiently prevented

17 Oct 2017 Health risks

In workplaces such as garages, bus depots and warehouses there is a lot of pollution, caused by diesel engines. The engines produce toxic gases and particulates, that can cause serious health risks and legal liability. Although it is well known that fumes are toxic and protective measures should be taken, that isn’t always done.
