HSE demand that metalworking fluids users should clearly demonstrate that they take every practicable step to control fluids, improve their condition and reduce exposure.

We recognise that the new guidance on health risks regarding asthma and respiratory diseases will pose problems for users. We offer a range of services aimed at helping customers to identify the risks and to build an effective programme of prevention and control.

Services include risk assessment, fluids testing and bio-audits, bacteria dipslides and atmosphere control.

New advanced ScandMist air filtration products are also available to remove both mist and bacteria from machine enclosures. Click the download links on the left to learn more about these issues and to see Houghton products and services.
