This document provides guidelines for a uniform approach to the control of airborne contaminants generated by stationary machine tools used to cut and form materials. Control shall be through the proper design, installation, use, and maintenance of the machine tool and its support systems (such as, but not limited to, metalworking fluid delivery systems and air cleaning equipment). Airborne contaminants can be generated due to: tool action, workpiece action, metalworking fluid movement and characteristics, and thermal conditions. These guidelines are meant to be used as a whole and should not be considered in part.
