This project took place at a manufacturing facility in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, where various hazardous substances were being evaluated for employee safety. The goal was to assess air quality in different parts of the facility, identify any harmful levels of contaminants, and recommend ways to keep workers safe. Substances like dust, metal fumes, and chemicals were monitored, and their concentrations were compared to regulatory limits.
Throughout the survey, it was found that some areas had levels of hazardous substances exceeding safe limits, especially dust and metal fumes from certain processes like welding and casting. Recommendations focused on improving ventilation systems, better housekeeping practices, and ensuring employees used proper protective equipment. The report also highlighted the need for more training to ensure that control measures were correctly used, ultimately reducing exposure to hazardous substances.
The overall aim of the project was to maintain compliance with safety regulations while making sure that the working environment remained as safe as possible for the employees involved.
