Breathing Apparatus
There are 2 main forms of RPE, referred to as respirators and breathing apparatus.
Fall Arrest Equipment Selection
The Right Product, The Right Training - The Complete Solution Of all the sectors of the safety market Fall Protection is one of the most complex, with every different scenario requiring a different solution. It is also one of the least understood and most often poorly addressed areas of personnel safety - while still remaining one of the few sectors where the result of a wrong decision will almost certainly result in the death of a worker should they fall.
Hearing Protection
Plugging the knowledge gap in noise attenuation Hearing protection is an urgent priority across Europe and the USA, where legislative changes have increased the need for simple measuring technology and consistent hearing protection products. This article looks at the Law, and the formula for staying on it’s right side.
Industrial Gas Detection
Designed for large Petro-Chemical complexes The use of gas detection as part of an overall safety system There is a popular belief that when you install a gas detection system you make the installation safe. This incorrect and dangerous statement cannot be further from the truth. An installation cannot be made safe by such a simple action; the safety of any installation begins at the design stage - good engineering and materials, and follows through construction to the development of safe operating practices undertaken by trained and competent personnel. After the correct engineering and development of safe operating practices only then can gas detection accept a role to assist and improve the overall safety of the installation.
Industrial Noise Measurement
Meeting the challenges of employee noise exposure in the oil and gas industry Noise exposure legislation, designed to protect the hearing of employees and prevent noise nuisance, is becoming tougher and more widespread.
Preventing Head Injuries
Head Protection is often the only form of protection According to the ILO there are 2.3 million work-related deaths each year with 350,000 fatal accidents, worldwide. Predictably, the construction sector is the most hazardous with around 60,000 fatal accidents globally each year. This equates to a fatal accident every 10 minutes.
