SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING SHOW PREVIEW
MINIMISING RISK
FILTERMIST
FILTERMIST TO DEMONSTRATE HOW IT
HELPS WORKERS ‘GO HOME HEALTHY’
Filtermist International will be highlighting
the role it plays in helping to ensure British
workers ‘Go Home Healthy’ on Stand C250 at
this year’s Southern Manufacturing show.
According to the HSE’s latest statistics, an
estimated 12,000 cases of lung disease deaths
are linked to past exposure in the workplace.
Reducing this figure is one of HSE’s current key
priorities and it is implementing a number of
measures designed to tackle this issue in its
Go Home Healthy campaign.
The company, which will be celebrating its
50th anniversary in 2019, offers a wide range
of products and services designed to minimise
exposure to oil mist and other airborne
contaminants as UK Sales Manager, Matthew
Pearson, explains: “Filtermist is known
throughout the industry for its compact oil
mist filters, but manufacture and installation is
only part of what we do.
“As with all machinery, oil mist, dust and fume
filters perform best with regular servicing.
Filtermist operates a dedicated team of skilled
Service Engineers throughout the UK to offer
customers peace of mind that their equipment
is in good working order.”
Investing in, and then maintaining, effective
extraction equipment is vital - not just from a
best practice perspective, but also a legal one.
CoSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to
Health) regulations require most LEV system
to be tested at least once every 14 months by
a competent person.
“Filtermist has a team of highly skilled LEV
Engineers certified to P601, P602, P603 and
P604,” continues Matthew. “We use a digital
reporting system which makes it easy to
file and then retrieve LEV test reports when
required. One of our LEV Engineers will be
demonstrating our LEV Testing service on our
Southern stand so come along to Stand C250
to see him in action.”
