Scott supports Snowdon climbers


In September a group of 11 firefighters from Wells Fire Station completed a two day climb up Mount Snowdon to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity in memory of a colleague who sadly died in a motorcycle accident in late 2010. Climbing Snowdon is a tough enough challenge under normal circum- stances, but the team from Wells Fire Station was keen to up the stakes even more by climbing in full fire fighting kit, helmets and breathing apparatus, along

with day sacks and supplies. The breathing apparatus (BA) and cylinders were kindly donated by Scott Safety, a company known around the world for supplying specialist respir- atory and other PPE to the fire and rescue services.

Health & safety training in Bahrain


The first course run by RRC Training Middle East for supervisors in Bahrain has just been successfully


The many benefits offered by the Ecolite design should make them a first choice for any contractor seeking an efficient and reliable source of mobile lighting, claims the company.


completed by 13 first-line supervisors from Gulf Petrochemical Industrial Complex (GPIC).


The Safety Practitioner course trained supervisors from all disciplines within GPIC in health and safety, to enable them to understand and practise their responsibilities as required by Bahrain Labour Law and the company’s internal health and safety management system.

The superior definition, clarity and colour rendition of light produced by the energy efficient ceramic discharge metal halide lamps was certainly recognised by the organisers of this year’s Glastonbury Festival, where 20 Ecolites were used as part of an effort to become the world’s first major carbon neutral rock event. Ecolite lighting towers are reported to be 75% more efficient than traditional 1000W versions, making them highly cost-effective to operate and providing all the light needed combined with reductions in emissions. In addition to the quality of light produced, low CO2 emissions and running costs, Ecolites are also said to be the quietest engine powered lighting towers in the world with noise levels between 83 and 86 dBa LWA, depending on specification and, to ensure maximum on-site safety, they cannot be moved without lowering the mast first.

IRmax is an ultra-compact infrared (IR) flammable gas detector from Crowcon which delivers rapid, fail-safe detection of hydrocarbon gases and vapours. Featuring dual-wavelength IR sensor technology in a rugged 316 stainless steel package, IRmax is designed to detect methane gas and other potentially explosive hydrocarbons in the harshest conditions.


Unlike conventional IR gas detectors, IRmax does not utilise heaters to prevent condensation on windows and mirrors. Instead, its optical components are treated with a highly durable hydrophobic coating called STAY-CLIR that completely prevents signal faults due to


condensation.


As IRmax contains no components for artificially heating optical surfaces, power consumption is dramatically reduced. It requires less than 1 Watt of power, typically 75-90% lower than conventional IR gas detectors. A gas detection


system using IRmax detectors therefore requires smaller (and lower cost) power supplies and battery back-up systems. Longer cables can also be used and more detectors can be powered on addressable networks.

Crown’s site in Bavaria


Be let down gently by J D Neuhaus


As part of an ongoing safety evaluation for its products, J D Neuhaus has introduced an emergency lowering device for its EH range of air operated monorail hoists. With this feature JDN complies with the leading standards like NORSOK, specifying an emergency device for the safe lowering of loads in the event of a cut in the main power supply. The new device


supplements an existing fail- safe disc brake, which is activated in the immediate event of a mains power failure, ensuring that suspended loads are held safely and securely at their


above-floor level until mains power is again made available. JDN monorail hoists with lift capacities from 25 to 60t can now be equipped with the latest safety development. This comprises an additional separate pressurised air reservoir tank (maintained at a mains air pressure of normally 6 bar), with a purpose-built hand controller incorporating two additional pushbuttons.


The controller provides positive two-handed lowering control, while eliminating the potential for unintended load movement.

For the past 25 years Crown has been manufacturing lift trucks for the European and world market in the Bavarian town of Roding in southern Germany. The site is now one of the company’s key manufacturing facilities. The scope of the


production line and processes at Roding is impressive: from tonnes of steel delivered every day, to CAD/CAM prod- uction of parts such as one- piece forks, to the production of hydraulic components through to final assembly. The plant also manufactures its own machine tools and in Crown lift trucks you will even find motors built by Crown for Crown.


Skilled employees help to ensure that the company’s durable, reliable products are manufactured to a


consistently high standard.
