HSE’s metal working fluid campaign

HSE is inspecting manufacturing businesses which use metalworking fluids in their machining processes.  Inspections will focus on the protection of employees from exposure to fluid or mist generated by computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Specific aspects are the installation, maintenance and monitoring of local exhaust ventilation (LEV), the regular completion of fluid quality checks and the provision of routine health checks for lung and skin conditions. https://workright.campaign.gov.uk/campaigns/metalworkingfluid/?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mwf-inspections&utm_term=more-1&utm_content=mwf-18-oct-23
