SHOWA 306 GLOBUS
Globus is encouraging glove users to experience its innovative Showa 306 glove which provides the perfect balance between safety, dexterity, performance and value. This was launched following extensive research and development which focused on creating a ‘glove for all seasons’.
Steve Shale, Marketing Manager of Globus said: “Outdoor workers often face a multitude of conditions and ensuring hands remain comfortable when going from wet to dry conditions and vice versa is a considerable challenge whilst wearing the same glove. The Showa 306 is a revolutionary grip glove which overcomes this.”
Effective hand protection boosts worker productivity as it eliminates time consuming glove changes and also underpins safety standards. The 306 is a unique combination of high grade foam latex coupled with a flat latex coating on the palm which enables exceptional grip, dexterity as well as breathability. This results in reduced perspiration in warm conditions and improved dryness in wet conditions. As a result, workers only need one type of glove – whatever the weather.
The 306 mimics the natural contours and curvature of the hand and thus reduces muscular stress and hand fatigue. The spongy foam latex offers protection to the back of the hands whilst still affording excellent flexibility and fit – something not usually seen in other fully coated gloves.
SKYSIREN PCS
(PRE-CRUSH SENSING) NATIONWIDE PLATFORMS
SkySiren PCS (Pre-Crush Sensing) is an intelligent secondary guarding system which prevents entrapment incidents from occurring when working from a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP).
Up until now, secondary guarding devices have protected users once a trapping/crushing incident has taken place. Although, greatly reducing the dangers of entrapment, the risk of serious injury, or death, still remains.
The SkySiren PCS uses eight ultrasonic sensors, fitted to a MEWP platform, to generate overlapping high-frequency sound waves above and behind the operator, essentially forming a protective zone. Should the platform come within a pre-determined distance of an overhead obstacle its movement ceases, alerting the user to the potential hazard. The MEWPs safety foot pedal needs to be reset should the user make the conscious decision to manoeuvre the platform within the protective zone. A flashing light and audible alarm is triggered to remind the user of the hazard.
The SkySiren PCS system also incorporates Nationwide Platforms’ pioneering SkySiren system which automatically prevents operation once a pressure sensor bar between the user and the control panel is activated. This combined system ensures the user remains protected should the platform be operated in a way that risks entrapment.
As an added security feature, SkySiren PCS can be linked to management systems, including Nationwide Platforms’ SkySentry system. It can also be used to identify where and when the incident has occurred along with which MEWP and user was involved.
