This page provides access to information relevant to those who work in the engineering industry. The engineering industry covers a broad range of activity where metallic components or goods are manufactured or repaired.
A range of free leaflets providing advice and guidance are available:
Metal working fliuids (MWF) are used extensively in the engineering industries for lubricating and cooling during machining. MWF comes into contact with the skin. Used fluids can also give rise to respiratory ill health if they become contaminated and if the fine mist produced during processing is inhaled.
Welding is widely used in both manufacture of metallic components/goods and during maintenance and repair.
