What Are the Health Risks of Bacteria-Contaminated Metalworking Fluid? Metalworking fluid cools and lubricates cutting operations while helping carry chips away from the work area. Water-miscible coolant also operates in an environment where bacteria and other microorganisms can grow when fluid conditions get out of control. Contaminated coolant is more than an odor problem. Workers can be exposed to metalworking fluid through skin contact, splashing, contaminated parts and e

Using UV-C to Treat Coolant: A Few Questions Answered UV-C can be an effective part of metalworking coolant maintenance, particularly when bacteria and persistent coolant odor are the problem. But with the Big Sky Decon Coolant Decontamination Unit, UV-C is only one part of the process. The CDU continuously pulls coolant from the machine reservoir, separates unwanted tramp oil for external collection, exposes the circulating coolant to UV-C to address odor-causing bacteria, a

Learn the health risks linked to bacteria-contaminated metalworking fluid and how better coolant management can reduce microbial growth and odors.

What would your shop save if you could extend the life of your coolant while cutting disposal costs, maintenance labor, and machine downtime?

Odors in Coolant Tanks

UV-C technology can help a butcher shop or meat-processing facility strengthen its sanitation program, but a UV-C system does not create USDA compliance by itself.

Big Sky Decon developed its Coolant Decontamination Unit, or CDU, specifically to help machine shops manage contaminated coolant by circulating the fluid, separating tramp oil, treating odor-causing bacteria with UV-C, and returning the treated coolant to the machine.

UV-C vs. Chemical Wipes for Tactical Gear: Why the Decontamination System Matters Tactical equipment creates a difficult decontamination problem. Body armor, plate carriers, duty belts, helmets, communications equipment, gloves, pouches, straps, buckles, and other gear are made from different materials and have surfaces that can be difficult to reach. At the same time, this equipment may be exposed to blood, saliva, sweat, bodily fluids, bacteria, viruses, and other contamina

Can UV-C Light Reduce Listeria and E. Coli Risk in a Butcher Shop? UV-C light can reduce the risk posed by Listeria, E. Coli, and other microorganisms in butcher shops and meat-processing spaces. The catch is that it needs to deliver the right UV-C dose to the right surfaces. Turning on a light and hoping for the best isn't a sanitation plan. Research supported by the USDA has found that UV-C can inactivate foodborne pathogens on foods and food-contact surfaces. UV-C Kill Lis

How Do You Safely Decontaminate a K9 After Narcotics Exposure? A police K9 doesn't have to ingest a bag of narcotics for a scene to become a veterinary emergency. Working dogs search with their noses close to floors, vehicles, packages, clothing, and other surfaces where an unknown drug may be present. Powder can also remain on the coat or paws, creating a secondary contamination problem for the handler. NIOSH guidance specifically recognizes working dogs, especially police K

What Should a Department's Fentanyl Exposure Response Protocol Include in 2026? A fentanyl exposure protocol response shouldn't begin after an officer, firefighter, EMT, or evidence technician believes they've been exposed. By then, people need clear instructions, not uncertainty. Departments whose personnel may encounter illicit fentanyl or other unknown drugs need procedures covering the entire incident: recognizing the hazard, selecting PPE, controlling the scene, respondi
