Best practice metalworking fluid videos released
The United Kingdom Lubricants Association (UKLA) Metalworking Fluid Product Stewardship Group (MWFPSG) has launched a series of industry-leading videos based on the UKLA and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) Good Practice Guidance for Managing Metalworking Fluids.
Produced in partnership with the HSE, with support from University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), the videos have been developed for the industry by the industry. There are ten short stand-alone videos, to support and encourage greater compliance in the safe management of metalworking fluids.
Highlights include: easy to follow demonstrations of quick and simple tests that should be carried out; advice on effective storage and mixing of metalworking fluids and information on protecting the health of workers and assets.
The series is essential viewing for all workshop owners and managers, health and safety representatives, workshop supervisors, machine operators and trainee operators.

Fiona McGarry, Health & Safety Executive lead on metalworking fluids commented: “Exposure to metalworking fluids can cause serious lung disease. It is really important that the right control measures and fluid quality checks are in place and these videos will help industry carry them out.”
Stuart Duff, chair of the Metalworking Fluid Product Stewardship Group added: “These videos provide an important step, building on good practice in the workplace and promoting this for the benefit of our end users.”
The MWFPSG comprises eighteen lubricant suppliers, blenders, and marketers whose aim is to assist in the education of end users, enhance the health and safety provision to members and their customers’ employees, and provide qualified, expert reviewed information to industry and the public about Metalworking Fluid Product Stewardship.
