Health and safety in the automotive industry - 3

Risk of fire in the automotive industry The automotive industry is well-known for its oily applications. Processes with oil and/or liquids with a low flash point1 form a higher risk -of welding fume extraction and filtration systems catching fire- than ordinary dry welding activities in the metalworking industry. Robotic welding of pressed, stamped or oily parts for example, can generate fumes containing oil with a low flash point. These fumes can easily be ignited by sparks or could spontaneously combust by sweltering2 in the dustbin. Filter units can catch fire not only at the time of...
