| Resumen |
The working environment in 4 welding workshops of sash window manufacturers was measured 10 times over a period of 5yrs, during which time the effects of introducing various types of ventilation systems and their performance in removing welding fumes from the workplace environment were analysed. The workplace environment was evaluated by area and personal monitoring for airborne particles, which were analysed in terms of mass concentration and free silica content (determined by X-ray diffraction). The effects of the ventilation systems were also monitored with a continuous direct reading dust meter. Enclosure hoods on robot welders and canopy hoods with curtains installed above welding tables improved the workplace significantly. Small portable exterior hoods attached to welding torches were more effective than expected, but were not favoured by the workers due to the increase in torch weight. |
