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.
