DRIVING EYESIGHT TOOLKIT NOW
AVAILABLE Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has launched a Driving Eyesight Toolkit to provide employers and their employees with all the information they need regarding the regulations and requirements for driver eyesight.
AIS LAUNCHES ‘WORLD’S THINNEST FIRE PROTECTION
PRODUCT’ AIS is launching a new product which it says could shave hundreds of thousands of pounds off safety costs for the oil and gas industry.
Responding directly to industry feedback, AIS has re-engineered its Jet Fire Pro fire protection jacketing system to create the “thinnest and lightest version on the market today” - ultimately reducing overall project costs for operators.
At just 35mm thick, the Jet Fire Pro’s unique engineered system insulates pipe work, valves, actuators and associated equipment against possible hydrocarbon and jet fires by

and maintenance environments, while ensuring a high degree of conformity with legislative requirements.
The Driving Eyesight Toolkit clearly sets out the employer’s responsibility for drivers under health and safety regulations. It explains the higher risk of collision for those who drive for work purposes and suggests considerations for eyecare policies.
For employees, the toolkit provides advice on the small steps they can take to improve their driving vision. It advises on regular eye examinations and the wider benefits of eyecare. The DVLA regulations on eyesight requirements are clearly set out so
withstanding temperature extremes of up to 1,250°C for 90 minutes. These life-saving minutes delay the type of devastating pipe ruptures that occurred in the Piper Alpha disaster, giving people plenty of time to escape should the worst happen offshore.
Passive fire protection is compulsory offshore due to regulations introduced following Piper Alpha. AIS says its Jet Fire Pro is six times thinner than alternative fire protection systems making it easier to fit, transport and maintain and therefore substantially reducing overall costs for oil and gas operators.
As well as boasting an operating capacity of between -60°C and 1,250°C, the Jet Fire Pro has a special weather layer which has super hydrophobic values to repel water. By preventing moisture from infiltrating
The Aquila® DPU102 features a high quality 13 gauge cut resistant (level 3) liner over the whole of the glove, not just specific areas, so affording 100% hand protection unlike cheaper alternatives which often only protect the palm and fingers.
Use of the specialist Alkimos® yarn technology with polyurethane palm and finger coating confers excellent levels of breathability, snugness of fit, flexibility and sensitivity for worker comfort in precision handling areas. The DPU102 is glass fibre free.

that employees are fully aware of the standards they must meet.
Research results are also set out, which reveal drivers’ attitudes to eyecare and how often they visit the optician. Real life case studies are also used to bring home the reality of the potentially devastating outcome of driving with poor vision.

pipe work, the system eliminates corrosion under insulation (CUI) and extends the life of the structure.
Head of AIS Technical, Chris Evans, said: “The oil and gas industry is undergoing vast changes and the feedback from our clients suggests that innovation, efficiency and cost savings are key.”
He continued: “In response, we’ve stripped back our existing Jet Fire Pro product to make it the thinnest and lightest on the market, at the same time as retaining its technical excellence.”
AIS’s Jet Fire Pro product has been extensively tested at the world’s leading fire test facilities and is type approved by global certification organisations, Lloyds Register and DNV-GL.
