Protect your workers from hazardous oil mist and smoke!

Numerous studies over the last decades have proven that workers who work in the cleanest environments work more efficiently, creating a higher output and a better quality output than those that work in dusty, dirty environments.

First, a clean environment is more pleasing to work in than a dirty environment. It shows to the workers that the company cares about them, not only to the product.  

Second, when fine mist and smoke particles are breathed in, the body is impacted by becoming trapped in the nose and if workers are constantly cleaning their nose, they are not running and operating the machinery at the greatest efficiency. Some mist and smoke can penetrate through the nose and breathing pathways and can penetrate into the lungs, causing less oxygen to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The less oxygen in the bloodstream, the less energy a person has, causing employees to naturally work slower. With less oxygen in the bloodstream, its easier to get sick and be out of work more often, causing additional loss of efficiency in production. This not only affects the workers in the machining area of your plant, but mist and smoke can drift around the plant and even penetrate into the front offices affecting everyone.

Lastly, workers who feel healthy are typically happier employees. After spending hours to years training your workers, the last thing wanted are for the workers to leave and go somewhere else. Having to constantly retrain workers is very inefficient, meaning factory output and plant profitability is at risk.
