Avoiding Oil Mist Mishaps
Fine oil mists generated by machining, stamping and other processes present control challenges. Uncontrolled oil mists are hazardous for employees and can damage electronics and other equipment components. This presentation addresses different types of metalworking fluids and specific health/safety risks associated with each, and OSHA regulations and ACGIH recommendations for oil-mist exposure. Learn the differences between collecting oil mist and dry particulates and the implications for air-quality system design and common misconceptions/mistakes made by manufacturers in the collection of oil mists, and how to correct them.
