Translas, an innovative Dutch manufacturer, offers extremely user-friendly welding fume extraction systems, with the highest capture rate and duty cycle in the industry. Welding fumes have been increasingly under the spotlight in recent years, following a change in enforcement expectations by the HSE. It has been proven that general ventilation alone does not provide sufficient protection from welding fumes and scientific evidence provides a direct link to cases of lung cancer and neurological disorders, in addition to other more common health issues such as Asthma. As a result of this all businesses performing welding activities have a responsibility to provide effective engineering controls to minimise this risk. The Translas system is the safest, most effective method of controlling this, with up to 98% of welding fumes being captured directly at source, along with a high level of operator satisfaction.

UK defence spending is rising at a pace not seen since the Cold War, and for metal fabricators with the right capabilities, that represents a significant commercial opportunity. Understanding where the demand is coming from, and what it means for workshop investment, is worth the attention of any fabrication business looking to grow.

In recent years, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has placed welding fumes under closer scrutiny, with scientific evidence linking exposure to a range of health issues, including lung cancer, neurological disorders, and asthma. Employers have a duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their staff, which includes putting effective controls in place to manage exposure to welding fumes — general ventilation on its own is not enough to adequately mitigate the risks. Although welders themselves may be adequately protected by PPE, the HSE has placed particular emphasis on other employees who share the same workspace.

Net zero isn't just a government target, it's increasingly a commercial reality. More and more UK manufacturers are being asked by their customers to demonstrate their environmental credentials, and fabrication businesses that can't answer that question are starting to lose work to those that can.
