Sunny Cyprus

This year our regional Manager, Peter Surtees, has been providing support to a client in Cyprus.  The project included two visits to the island commissioning a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system which is used to control diesel exhaust emissions from a vehicle.  The approach we take to commissioning a system like this is across a two phased approach.  Phase one being a thorough examination and test checking the system complies with relevant design criteria, HSG 258 values and COSHH Regulations.  Phase two includes proving effective control using careful occupational hygiene techniques to assess airborn levels of hazardous substances and proving the sytem is capable of reducing operator exposures to hazardous substances.

Ship Building Welding Fume Assessments

Armstrong Environmental have recently been undertaking welding fume assessments for a major shipbuilder on the Clyde in Glasgow.

It is estimated that 110 million workers worldwide are exposed to welding fume and with studies showing that welders have a 52.5% higher lung cancer rate (than non exposed).

Our mobile unit is the perfect base for our qualified occupational hygienists to monitor welding activites on large sites.

It is critical that firms adequately assess the risk and use appropriate controls.
