Prepared for sed?
December 1st 2006 More than 50% of the UK's manufacturing and engineering companies using trichloroethylene could face prosecution under new legislation, warns Clive Ward, general manager of the Clean-Tek product range at Wheelabrator Group. He believes more than half the affected companies are putting their staff and themselves at risk by failing to prepare for the Solvent Emissions Directive which comes into force on 31st October 2007. This restricts emissions from organic solvents, such as trike, to limit worker exposure and protect health. Companies failing to comply with the limits will face investigation, possible prosecution and may face compensation claims from affected employees. Clive Ward says aqueous cleaning is no longer the costly process it once was and says it is effective at removing grease, oil, dust, tar, carbon, dirt and other contaminants. Aqueous systems, such as the Clean-Tek ranges, use 95% water and 5% aqueous non-hazardous detergent. More articles from Wheelabrator Group Ltd: |
