WHAT’S NEW?
MARTINDALE ELECTRIC EXPANDS RANGE OF LOCK-OUTS.
Martindale Electric has added a new range of professional electrical locking off devices and kits for miniature circuit breakers and fuse holders.
The new lockouts, provide simple and reliable solutions to ensure circuits have been de-energised and properly isolated prior to maintenance and modifications of plant and equipment, in accordance with HSG85, the Electricity at Work Regulations.
The new LOKKIT6 includes everything needed to lock off and label Red Spot or similar fuse holders as part of a safe isolation procedure. The kit includes the LOK6 universal fuse carrier lock off, a TAG4 warning tag and marker pen, plus a PAD10R padlock. The LOK6 is designed to restrict finger access to live contacts and prevent the reinsertion of a fuse whilst maintenance is in progress. It’s easily adjustable to fit fuse holders from 20A to 100A, providing a ‘’one size fits all solution’’ that’s always to hand.
Martindale has also extended its range of circuit breaker locking off devices. In addition to the comprehensive LOKKIT1 which includes seven different locking off devices suitable for use on most MCBs, fuse carriers and main switches, Martindale have introduced the extra slim-line LOK7 for those specialist applications where space is really limited and conventional locking off devices won’t fit. The new design solves the problem of locking off RCBOs with a prominent test button and applications where access

FIRESTONE STILL PERFORMING AT
WEMBLEY 10 YEARS ON The SSE Arena Wembley has played host to countless world class performances over the years and Firestone is now celebrating one of the most enduring: the UltraPly™ TPO roofing membrane that was installed 10 years ago.
As part of a £35 million refurbishment completed in 2006, the Firestone UltraPly TPO membrane provides a light- coloured, environmentally-friendly solution that is ideal for the building’s 10,000m2
sloping roof.
Combining aesthetic appeal with excellent U/V resistance, outstanding seam strength and robust, long- lasting waterproofing performance, the advanced thermoplastic polyolefin membrane has stood the test of time and is still providing the same reliable protection for the global superstars, music fans and sports enthusiasts that frequent the arena 10 years later.
The anniversary at SSE Arena Wembley coincides with the 20 year
to the breaker has been restricted to prevent accidental disconnection. The LOK7 can be used with the full range of Martindale padlocks and hazard warning tags for safe isolation.
Locking off the circuit correctly is just one part of the procedure. Before carrying out any work on the circuit, it’s essential to verify that the circuit is definitely dead before proceeding. This
anniversary of the first UltraPly TPO installation in the USA, which is still performing well today. Since then, hundreds of millions of square metres of UltraPly TPO have been installed worldwide with equally durable results from the sub-zero temperatures of Canada to the high humidity of South East Asia, and everywhere in between.
Firestone’s technical team was involved in the SSE Arena Wembley installation from the project’s concept through design and specification and throughout the installation programme, ensuring that the fully adhered system was properly installed for maximum performance with minimum wastage.
Peter Fewings, Technical and Building Services Manager at SSE Arena Wembley: “The roof needs to look great, withstand footfall for maintenance teams and offer high performance, low-maintenance protection for the building. Firestone’s UltraPly TPO has ticked all these boxes for the past decade and shows no signs of bowing out any time soon.”
