Compressed Air Hazards in the Workplace: How a Safer Industrial Handheld Vacuum Improved Safety & Productivity

Background

It is important to ensure safety in industrial machine environments while maintaining productivity. This is a constant challenge. There are many hazards faced by workers today. The significant one is the accumulation of chips. When these chips are improperly handled, they:

  • Become airborne causing skin irritation and eye injury.
  • Settle into machinery that may lead to potential malfunctions.
  • Be combustible increasing fire hazards.

Most of the companies are still relying on compressed air to blow off chips. However, this method will worsen the problem instead of solving it. Airborne metal particles pose health risks. They contaminate workplaces and increase cleanup times. Saurya Safety, recognizing the urgency of this issue, comes up with the Guardair 1500 Gun Vac Handheld Vacuum.

 

The Incident

A mid-sized manufacturing company experienced frequent safety incidents related to aluminum chip dispersal. Workers continued to suffer from eye injuries, skin abrasions from chip contact, respiratory issues from prolonged exposure to airborne contaminants, etc.

The most severe incident occurred when a worker suffered from an eye injury requiring medical intervention. During the investigation, it was revealed that the problem stemmed from using compressed air to clear aluminum chips from workstations. The method sent particles flying throughout the workspace and created additional risks. The company immediately realized the danger associated with traditional cleaning methods and sought an alternative that ensures safety and efficiency.

 

The Solution: Guardair 1500 Gun Vac

The company started using the Guardair 1500 Gun Vac, an effective industrial vacuum engineered for high-suction and safe removal of metal shavings and debris.
