HONEYWELL HELPS MARINE SECTOR TO


BREATHE EASY Honeywell has improved its Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD), Bio-S-Cape, to meet two of the most important international marine safety regulations: ISO23269- 1:2008 on EEBD for shipboard use and the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).


The company said its improvements make Bio-S-Cape a “robust and high-performance” breathing solution for workers at risk of toxic gas exposures in extremely hazardous and challenging environments, including marine, shipping and oil and gas.


Christian Vieille, Product Manager Respiratory, Honeywell Safety Products EMEA, commented: “Enhanced user features include the automated positioning of the hood through the inflatable air cushion and the additional two loops on the back of the bag to prevent salt spray accumulation. We have also created


RED RADIO LAUNCHES SITEM8 LONE WORKER


PROTECTION SYSTEM Red Radio used the Facilities Management Show 2015 at the NEC as a launchpad for their new SiteM8 system.


SiteM8 is a modular system, which has been designed to integrate with either existing radios (walkie-talkies) or for enhanced protection using the RED Lynx PT600 radio with lone worker and man-down alarms. It can be programmed for a multitude of critical events, from fire alarms and door entry alarms to monitoring and protecting lone workers.


In its simplest form, SiteM8 is a radio call or panic button – sending an alarm signal to other radios such as the PT600, where the PT600 model has the unique feature of playing a voice

a darker inner hood for improved visibility and reduced reflection when used in bright light conditions and simplified the maintenance process, reducing both maintenance time and cost.”


Designed to be quick and easy to put on and comfortable to use, Bio- S-Cape features rip stop material on the neck seal to reduce the risk of accidental tearing or ripping when donning. Labelling has also been improved by increasing its size significantly and better positioning it on the bag.


Oxygen is delivered through a choice of steel or composite compressed air cylinders which are available with 10 or 15-minute air supply, with the hood

message when an alarm is received and could, for example, say “door alarm” or “help point one”.


SiteM8 can take a range of modules to expand the functionality, and has already been used in a number of environments from football clubs – to monitor the fire alarm panel and relay “fire alarm activated” to the stewards, so that any event can be investigated before an evacuation is necessary – to schools, where it can act as a “guardian” for lone working maintenance staff.


If a panic button, man-down or lone worker alarm is activated on a radio unit, then SiteM8 takes control and re-broadcasts the alarm to other radios in the group. If it is programmed that SiteM8 “knows” that the user is truly on their own (for example a caretaker working at a weekend), then SiteM8 will either dial or text up to 10 phones sequentially and forward a voice message like “man-down alarm at school”. The receiving phone must enter an acknowledgement to SiteM8 to confirm receipt of the message and certain other functions can be remotely controlled through the SiteM8 unit.


A full featured SiteM8 system with internal GSM phone system costs around £1,000 and suitable portable radios are around £120 to £180 each. Apart from a Radio Licence, there are no ongoing costs or fees.
