JSP PARTNERS WITH CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY CHARITY JSP has announced an exclusive safety partnership with the Lighthouse Club, the charity that supports the construction industry. JSP has launched a special Lighthouse range of safety products to promote and support the newly-launched Construction Industry Helpline (0845 605 1956).
Funded by the Lighthouse Club and donations from individuals, businesses and organisations in the construction industry, the Construction Industry Helpline provides confidential, 24-hour support and advice to the industry’s workforce and their families on any problems they may be facing, including occupational health and wellbeing, mental health, or financial difficulties caused by accident, illness, or bereavement.
Among JSP's tried-and-tested Lighthouse range of personal protective products is the EvoLite® CR2 helmet, which JSP says is the lightest and strongest EN397 helmet on the market. It is quickly and easily adjusted using JSP’s Revolution™ Wheel Ratchet system.
Also launched as part of the range is JSP's Force 8™ half-mask with Press to Check™ P3 filters, giving daily face- fit reassurance and JSP's Thermex
NEW BATTERY LIFTER ACHIEVES SUCCESSFUL
FIRST TRIAL Manual lifting of heavy batteries in and out of trackside cabinets could soon be a thing of the past following ADComms’ successful trial of its new battery lifter mechanism.
ADComms was initially approached in 2014 by Network Rail’s HSEA team to devise a safe means of lifting power packs that provide battery backup for critical UPS systems which operate

dual lens goggles. The safety goggles offer fog-free vision as well as total eye protection against fine particles, chemical splash, molten metal and extreme temperatures.
JSP also sponsored the Construction Industry Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament on 23rd April 2015 at Foxhills Golf Club, Surrey, which involved 25 teams from the construction industry.
across the FTN infrastructure. Being continually monitored for condition, these batteries need to be replaced promptly to ensure a constant power supply is provided to the telecoms equipment at all times.
Currently, batteries are moved by hand; a major challenge for maintenance staff as each installed battery weighs approximately 60kg and has to be manoeuvred in and out of cabinets at heights upwards of 1.5m.
Not only did ADComms’ lifter need to provide a time-efficient, labour- saving means of moving the batteries, it also needed to be operational within an array of challenging
JSP’s CEO Mark Johnstone commented on the new partnership: “Donations will be made against each PPE product in our Lighthouse Range when purchased by UK construction companies. We hope that with the backing of the construction industry specifying and buying Lighthouse Range PPE, JSP will raise £30-50,000+ over 12 months to support the extremely valuable work of the Lighthouse Helpline.”

working environments. ADComms adapted an industry standard manual lifter mechanism used in factory environments and modified a tray mechanism using durable light alloys; maximising the portable capabilities of the device.
The lifter was successfully trialled at two Network Rail sites, in Newark and Lincolnshire, with ADComms effectively meeting the complex requirements of the project. It is hoped that the new battery lifter will be rolled out across Network Rail’s infrastructure over the next few months, following official approval.
