<h1>Fume Extractors: Remove Fumes, Gases, Vapors—and Liability from Your Business!</h1>

It’s no secret that welding, soldering, landfill operations and many other industrial or commercial businesses have work environments or sites that regularly expose workers to high levels of fumes, gases, vapors, VOC’s, and other air pollutants. Portable or HVAC mounted fume collection systems are required and often purchased to remove these fumes, with some units performing well and others, not so well. From a business perspective, the quality of the fume extractor matters greatly for two main reasons: 1) employee safety and productivity, and 2) liability.

 

Liability? Yes, and potentially high liability.  If a cheap fume or gas extraction system was purchased with filters that don’t remove enough of the fumes (not enough carbon) or they haven’t been replaced regularly, you could be held liable for any resulting injury to employees—either short term or long term.

 

If their attorney can prove negligence in terms of not installing the best or most appropriate fume, gas, & vapor collection system or not replacing the filters on schedule, it will likely be an easy case that could result in thousands or potentially millions in monetary damages that you or your business could have to pay. At that point, spending a little more on the right fume extractors with quality filters would definitely seem like a bargain and you’ll wish you had purchased them.

 

Quality portable welding & solder fume extractors or air movers often include HEPA filters along with the heavy-duty carbon filters to remove the harmful particles as well as the fumes, all at once. This is a very smart way to go for source capture fume collection systems because a unit with carbon and HEPA will remove virtually all pollutants from the work area—so that when the welding or soldering operator pulls off their respirator for a minute, there will be very few pollutants to breathe, which helps give you that extra layer of protection liability-wise.

 

But do remember to buy a fume extractor with large amounts of activated carbon (50-100 pounds of carbon) since industrial gas collection & chemical filtration & scrubber systems depend heavily on carbon to remove fumes and if the filter does not have enough of the right type of carbon, it will not remove as much of the gases & vapors, and won’t last as long. 

 

And when a fume extractor’s carbon filter is saturated, it simply blows polluted air through the unit without removing the harmful fumes—and that can lead to liability claims, OSHA fines, and more. Bottom line: If the fume & gas filtration system has more, higher quality carbon in the filter, it will do a better job and last longer, which reduces the number of filter changes and saves you money there, as well.
