Solder Fume Extraction and Filtration
Soldering produces substances that are potentially harmful. Fume extraction and filtration systems are becoming more and more the standard to protect workers. Ask these important questions …
· Are we OSH compliant?
· Do we have a clean workspace?
· Are our staff healthy?
· Are our staff trained to use solder safely?
· Do we have the most effective solution to solder fumes?
· What are the costs and benefits of an effective extraction system?
Contact TradeTech today for further information about the effective control of solder fumes in the workplace.
