Boat Building & Marine

Industry Challenges

Every industry faces unique air quality challenges that impact worker health, safety, and compliance. Understanding these risks is the first step toward creating cleaner, safer, and more efficient workplaces.

Fiberglass & Resin Fumes

Working with fiberglass, resins, and adhesives releases toxic fumes that can irritate the respiratory system and pose long-term health risks without proper ventilation.

Wood Dust & Particulates

Cutting, sanding, and shaping timber creates fine dust that can affect worker health and accumulate on surfaces, impacting both safety and product quality.

Overspray Residue

Marine coatings, paints, and varnishes produce overspray and chemical residues that can contaminate work areas, equipment, and finished boats if not properly controlled.

Regulatory Standards

Boat building facilities must comply with strict occupational health and environmental regulations, requiring reliable air filtration and extraction systems to ensure a safe working environment.

Egmont Air Puts on the Gloss

Mr Dave Lourie

Gloss Boats Marine Spraying Specialists Ltd

Managing Director

“It has given us the opportunity to build a new facility that is purpose-designed around repainting boats, rather than leasing a shed and then trying to make it compliant. At Tamaki Marine Park GBMS can custom-build a shed that’s fit for purpose.”
