WHAT’S NEW? HUNT FOR CHSA 2017
UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARS BEGINS Following the successful re-introduction of its Undergraduate Bursary, the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) has expanded the Bursary: there will be up to three lucky winners in 2017.
LA FEDERAL COURTHOUSE KEPT SAFE
WITH FFE DETECTORS To ensure optimum fire detection in its large atrium, the impressive new Los Angeles Federal Courthouse has installed four Fireray beam smoke detectors from FFE.
“Because the atrium is so high, conventional smoke detectors were not suitable for this installation,” commented Managing Director Mark Osborne. “Our Fireray 5000 auto-aligning, reflective smoke detectors were selected instead as they are ideal for this kind of large interior, providing extensive coverage at minimal cost.”
Fireray 5000 beam detectors work by transmitting a beam of invisible infrared light across the building space to be protected. A receiver detects and measures the light and can recognise smoke interference anywhere along the beam path, triggering the alarm signal when the pre- determined threshold is reached.
One of the deciding factors in Fireray 5000 detectors being specified for this application is the ‘low level controller’ feature, which means maintenance and testing can be carried out via the control room.
Another important factor in any new-build project is building movement. All new buildings need to ‘settle’, and for beam detectors, which rely on precision laser alignment at opposite ends of the building, any movement can mean the beams become unaligned. The Fireray 5000 compensates for this through its ‘auto-alignment’ feature, ensuring beams remain aligned during building movement, without causing nuisance alarms or requiring a technician.
The new 10 storey, 633,000-square-foot courthouse, which is situated in downtown Los Angeles, contains 24 courtrooms and 32 judges’ chambers and has sustainable features such as a serrated facade that maximizes views yet also reduces solar heat gain by nearly half.
With over half a million optical beam detectors installed worldwide, Fireray is the first choice for installers and engineers looking for smoke detection in large open areas. With its modern design aesthetic and minimal footprint, the Fireray is popular with architects and facilities managers who care about preserving the original design of buildings.

Applicants are assessed according to need, worthiness, endeavour, and overall performance. Each candidate brings something unique, so the field of applicants is incredibly competitive. With a passion for his subject – Chemical Engineering – and an intent to also study languages at university, Adam Jackson, the son of Helen Jackson who works for Deb Ltd, won the inaugural Bursary. He used the Bursary to buy textbooks and support his studies and is now averaging over 80% in his assignments.
The Bursary is open to the children of CHSA members who on 1st September 2017 will be 18 years or over and commencing their higher education studies this year. The successful applicants will be awarded a maximum of £4,500, receiving the Bursary in three installments, £1,500 at the start of each academic year or for the first three academic years if the degree is four years or longer.
David Garcia, Treasurer of the CHSA and Chairman of Polaris Plastics explained: “Our employees’ members work hard and this Bursary, by giving something directly to their children, is a perfect way for us to say thank you for their contribution and ongoing commitment.
“Higher education is incredibly expensive. For many the cost is off-putting. Our bursaries lift the pressure a little, giving the lucky winners the resources they need to, for example, buy their books.”
All CHSA members are now being asked to promote the Bursary within their organisations to encourage as many applications as possible.
Applicants need to submit their completed form, which can be obtained from Linda Belcher the Secretary of the CHSA (
secretary@chsa.co.uk), by 30th June 2017. Those shortlisted will be interviewed in July by a selection panel to be led by David Garcia.
