The HSE after recent problems associated with Powertrain and two other significant out-breaks of occupational asthma has brought out new guidance on the use of metalworking fluids, particularly in respect to bacterial contamination and coolant mists. See www.hse.gov.uk/metalworking/hse.htm

They recommend specific methodology for the control of metal working fluid, mist control, sump cleaning, and managing sumps and bacterial contamination. See www.hse.gov.uk/metalworking/ecoshh.htm
