- Risk Assessment: Our team conducts observational surveys to identify key exposure points during the rubber processing stages.
- Data Gathering: We carry out personal and area air sampling for rubber dust, fumes, and associated compounds such as nitrosamines and volatile organic compounds.
- Control Evaluation: Existing engineering controls such as Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV), and workplace practices are assessed for effectiveness.
- Reporting: A clear and professional report is provided in accordance with BOHS and HSE standards, including specific findings and recommendations.
- Action Plan: Our reports are followed by practical action plans that highlight improvements in exposure control, health surveillance requirements, and regulatory compliance.
The Importance of Rubber Fume & Dust Occupational Monitoring
During the manufacturing and reprocessing of rubber, chemical changes caused by heat can generate toxic by-products, including nitrosamines, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other hazardous compounds. These substances may not be used directly but can form during processing, particularly in the curing phase.
Exposure to these substances has been associated with:
- Respiratory tract irritation
- Neurological symptoms
- Skin sensitisation and dermal absorption risks
- Carcinogenicity (notably with nitrosamines and PAHs)
- Potential liver, kidney, and immune system effects
Workers Most at Risk Include:
- Tyre manufacturing and retreading operatives
- Rubber product moulding staff
- Plastic and rubber recyclers
- Composite manufacturers and plastic blend processors
- Employees handling powdered rubber or rubber dust
Ensuring adequate monitoring and control of these exposures is essential, especially where substances are classified as carcinogens or sensitising agents.
