Controlling Cotton, Wool and Dyestuff Dust in the Textile Industry LEVCentral Expert Commentary Textile dust has long been recognised as a significant occupational health hazard. Depending on the material being processed, workers may be exposed to cotton dust, wool process …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary BS EN 12779 is the principal European Standard covering the safety requirements for fixed chip and dust extraction systems used with woodworking machinery. It provides manufacturers and system designers with requirements intended to minimise the hazards associated …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary A technically well-designed LEV system can still fail to protect workers if the people responsible for using and managing it do not understand how it works. This important HSE research examined how employers, supervisors and operators perceive …
This publication is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive freely available books dedicated solely to industrial dust collection engineering. LEVCentral Expert Commentary Dust collection is far more than selecting a filter or installing a fan. Effective systems require …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Excessive fan vibration is one of the earliest indicators that an LEV system may no longer be operating as intended. Whilst vibration is often viewed simply as a maintenance issue, it can also indicate deterioration in fan …
LEVCentral Expert Commentary Cadmium has historically been added to certain silver brazing alloys because it lowers the melting temperature and improves the flow characteristics of the filler metal. However, when cadmium-containing alloys are heated above their melting point they produce …
