shatterproof lamps reduce risk
GlassGuard BlackBand
self storage company in Norfolk has recently discovered the benefits of fragment retention lamps after a customer nearly smashed an unprotected fluorescent lamp. 4 Secure Self Storage in
A
Thetford had previously used open batten fluorescent fixtures, meaning the lamp was vulnerable to impact damage, potentially scattering glass over a wide area and causing damage to property as well injury to staff and customers. This close call raised a health and safety issue that Managing Director Simon Long was keen to rectify: “The customer was moving a wardrobe and very nearly smashed an open fluorescent tube. I could see the potential for damage and litigation, so I quickly searched for a solution. I was delighted to find the simple solution was to install GlassGuard BlackBand® lamps to BS EN61549 standard which eliminated the problem.

New lightweight helmet for welders E
Advertorial
SAB has launched the Globe-Arc Prepared for Air, a helmet that is identical in terms of full head and face protection and a flip-up welding visor, but with provision for a fresh air supply. This combination of features will find favour with welders who need a compact, lightweight helmet for use with an air supply. The Globe-Arc prepared for Air benefits from a fixed Shade 2 or Shade 3 visor for operations such as grinding. The Globe-Arc prepared for Air benefits from a fixed Shade 2
or Shade 3 visor for operations such as grinding. In common with the existing Globe- Arc, the Globe-Arc Prepared for Air benefits from a fixed Shade 2 or Shade 3 visor for
operations such as grinding and a flip-up Shade 8 or Shade 10 welding visor that, when down, still provides a clear view through the bottom portion of the fixed visor. Both visors give a wide field of vision for ease of use and safety, yet the welder is at all times protected from UV and IR radiation.

Prevent fail-to-danger with the new KSD+ power isolator
C
astell (
www.castell.com), a provider of industrial safety components for over 90 years, has redesigned the electrical isolator to prevent component failure leading to malfunction. The KSD+ is a new trapped key interlock power isolator, suitable for 3-phase currents from 32 amps to 250 amps, which dramatically increases safety protection over conventional designs, preventing fail-to-danger. Designed to the latest
standard BS EN 60947-3:2009, the new KSD+ has been created with a non-direct drive interlocking mechanism. The key that controls the operation of the isolator does not bear the load of switching the contacts, traditionally a potential point of failure. Switching is now achieved with an extending handle that increases the ease of use, as well as device reliability. The key traps the handle in place and prevents operation when the key is removed. To further enhance the safety of the KSD+, the ability to switch the device on while the case is open has been removed through the use of a coded sensor.
