Safety and efficiency in welding: How GPPH supports compliance with OHS standards

Working in the welding industry is not just about technical skills but above all about constantly facing harsh environmental conditions. Welding, although indispensable in many industrial sectors, involves the risk of exposure to harmful fumes, physical strain, and hazards associated with improper workplace ergonomics. GPPH addresses these challenges by offering solutions that not only meet strict health and safety standards but also significantly enhance work efficiency and comfort.

XWT Welding Table – Ergonomics at the Highest Level

One of the most innovative solutions in the GPPH offering is the XWT hydraulic welding table, which, due to its excellent health and safety parameters, has been positively verified twice as part of the annual ZUS co-financing program aimed at improving working conditions. As a result, attractive financial support is available for purchasing XWT tables. This confirms the high quality and safety of the solution, which has a real impact on improving ergonomics and work comfort in welding environments. The table’s design enables smooth and precise adjustment of the working height, allowing the workstation to be perfectly adapted to the user’s needs. This helps welders avoid issues related to improper posture and spinal strain, directly contributing to improved performance and task quality.

The worktops of XWT tables are available in several sizes – from compact ones (1500×1000 mm, 1500×1480 mm) to larger versions (2000×1000 mm, 2400×1200 mm), making them ideal for a wide range of production needs. The durability of the construction is ensured by the materials used in the production of the tops, including exceptionally strong structural steel S355J2+N and corrosion- and chemical-resistant stainless steel INOX 1.4301. Additionally, the tabletop is equipped with a specialized mounting hole system that allows for quick attachment of tools and fixtures, significantly increasing the workstation’s functionality and efficiency.

The XWT table is also equipped with advanced safety systems, such as overload valves that protect against attempts to lift excessively heavy objects, and safety switches that prevent hydraulic failures. These features ensure exceptional operational safety in demanding environments such as the automotive, machinery, food, or metal industries.

IQ Air Flow – effective removal of harmful welding fumes

Safety at the welding workstation goes beyond ergonomics. A key aspect is also the effective purification of air from hazardous fumes generated during welding. The IQ Air Flow system by GPPH ensures efficient fume extraction, thus protecting employees’ health and maintaining a clean working environment. IQ Air Flow hoods are available in various sizes, from 1000×1000 mm up to 2400×1200 mm, and are equipped with a powerful fan delivering 2700 m³/h airflow, ensuring fast removal of harmful substances.

The hood structure is made of durable powder-coated steel (grade S355), ensuring resistance to intensive use and chemical exposure. The hoods are equipped with ventilation channels that effectively collect fumes across the entire work surface, and the stepless fan speed control allows operation to be tailored to the specific needs of each workstation.

This product is also available in a version without a fan, allowing integration with existing ventilation systems. The use of modern LED lighting improves visibility of details during work, which is especially important when performing precise welds.

IQ Aero Clean – comprehensive filtration for the highest H&S standards

GPPH goes beyond fume extraction and also offers specialized filtration and ventilation units – IQ Aero Clean – which additionally purify the air. These advanced devices deliver a filtration capacity of up to 6000 m³/h and an impurity capture efficiency of 99.5% for particles as small as 0.3 µm.

IQ Aero Clean is equipped with a patented pulse-jet filter cleaning system, ensuring consistent high performance even under heavy use. This guarantees clean air for the user without frequent replacement of filter elements. The anti-dust system with a special grate in the drawers effectively captures larger contaminants, further extending the device’s lifespan.

Among the distinguishing features of the IQ Aero Clean device is also adaptive airflow control – IQ Flow Control – which enables the system to automatically adjust to the current needs of the workstation. IQ Aero Clean is available in mobile and wall-mounted versions, allowing flexible adaptation to the specifics of various production facilities.

Why is it worth investing in professional GPPH solutions?

Choosing GPPH products such as the XWT welding table and the IQ Air Flow and IQ Aero Clean filtration and ventilation systems is not only about complying with occupational health and safety standards, but above all an investment in employee health, ergonomics, and the long-term efficiency of production processes. Thanks to GPPH’s innovative technologies, welding can become not only more comfortable but also safer and more efficient. This approach is a key step toward a modern, responsible, and effective business.
