Aerospace & engineering
Occupational health for aerospace & engineering.
Precision manufacturing means metalworking fluids, solvents, coatings, noise and vibrating tools. We help you protect a highly skilled workforce.
The picture
What we see in aerospace & engineering.
- Loud noisePeople have to shout to be heard 2 m away, or use noisy tools
- Vibrating hand toolsBreakers, grinders, cut-off saws, chainsaws, impact wrenches
- Dust, fumes or flourWood or stone dust, welding fume, flour, spices, solvents
- Skin irritants or wet workCutting fluids, cement, cleaning chemicals, frequent hand washing
- Isocyanate paintsTwo-pack spray painting, vehicle body repair
Aerospace is one of the sectors we’ve served, and precision engineering brings exposures that need careful monitoring: metalworking fluids and solvents for skin and lungs, isocyanate-based coatings, grinding and riveting tools, and noise from machining.
Our practitioners build a surveillance programme around your COSHH and noise risk assessments, and report results clearly enough to act on.
