Nederman: Cleaner Air, Healthier Learning: The New Standard for Australian Institutions and TAFEs

Creating healthier learning environments with intelligent clean air technology built for modern education.

The Australian education landscape has a long history and focus on hands-on training. Immersing students into practical training begins as early as primary school but is expanded on as students are offered high school electives in trade-based subjects. Students wanting to pursue these courses can also elect to further their studies through a range of TAFE and vocational programs in areas including woodworking, metalwork and welding, automotive mechanics and fitting and machining. 

The inclusion of these hands-on subjects is promising for the future of trades in Australia but comes with increasing challenges as we become more aware of the issues that airborne contaminants created in these environments have on students and staff. During these practical classes the air is contaminated with particles like wood dust, oil mist, metal dust and exhaust gases. Without proper extraction solutions for these contaminants air quality can be compromised.  This can potentially lead to long term health issues for staff and students, and more immediately to disruptions in the learning environment.

How Nederman can help 

In order to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment, schools and TAFEs offering these classes need to install effective air extraction solutions. We offer premium air extraction and filtration systems that are specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges faced in educational settings. 

These classrooms often have a large number of students participating in practical activities, and this can increase the volume of airborne contaminants significantly. The varied nature of the activities often conducted in one classroom also offers a challenge as this produces a wide array of pollutants. The frequent use of industry related machinery can further exacerbate the generation of airborne particles in these areas. With our tailored air extraction solutions, schools and TAFEs can ensure a safe learning environment without comprising the health of students and staff. 

Why air quality matters in educational environments 

Duty of care – Giving students a safe learning environment is the responsibility of every school and TAFE. Airborne hazards are often overlooked but clear air matters.  

Healthy learning – Prioritising clean air supports attendance and wellbeing in both students and teachers. It can help teachers have long and rewarding careers and ensure student continue to have fulfil their educational goals.  

Smart investment – Modern air filtration systems deliver long-term value through reduced maintenance, compliance confidence, and improved energy efficiency.

Safer workshops – Many schools offer practical workshops. But exposure to airborne contaminants created from woodwork, metalwork and automotive classrooms are a health risk. 

Better performance outcomes – Clean working environments enhance comfort and focus. Allowing teachers to educate in a comfortable environment and ensuring students are achieving better learning outcomes. 

The smart choice for safer learning environments

With local specialists backed by global expertise, Australian schools and TAFEs can partner with us to design customised air extraction and filtration systems that meet the unique needs of their educational needs.

Get in touch today if you want to ensure your school protects the wellbeing of staff and students into the future. Together, we can help you achieve your goals in setting new benchmarks in safe, sustainable education in Australia.

It’s time to add clean air to the curriculum

With education facilities making commitments to ensure the next generation can learn safely, investing in clean air is one of the most effective ways to protect your students’ health and wellbeing and ensure you fulfil this guarantee. 

Across Australia, practical classrooms are filled with welding fumes, fine dust from woodwork and exhaust particles from diesel. These airborne particles are a barrier to effective learning and can have lasting impacts on students’ health. 

We can offer a solution. Our customised air extraction and filtration systems capture harmful particles to ensure clean air in all classrooms. Our products protect health of staff and students and can be used to cultivate a culture of safety that extends beyond the classroom walls. 

We give you access to local Australian experts who are backed with the support and experience of an international team. We are here to help schools and TAFEs design specialised extraction and filtration systems that remove airborne hazards from their classrooms. Our products are energy efficient and seamlessly integrated with existing classroom fit-outs. 

Our solutions support the next generation of safe, sustainable learning. Contact us today to make clean air part of every lesson.
