UK Focus Health & Safety Trapped Personnel Alarms for Cold Stores
When contacting companies directly from this issue of
International Environmental Technology please tell them where you saw their product.
Thank you
Stonegate Instruments (UK) has announced an 18% increase in sales of its Trapped Personnel Alarm system this year.
The increased demand is a direct result of companies that have cold stores and refrigerated warehousing facilities continuing to make it a priority to treat the welfare of their staff with the highest possible priority and also the need to comply with stringent health and safety legislation.
In addition, in its guidance on precautions to prevent a person being trapped in a freezer room or cold enclosed area, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that a minimum of an audible alarm actuator should be provided inside the cold area, which has also led to a boost in sales of Stonegate’s Trapped Personnel Alarm.
Stonegate’s Trapped Personnel Alarm has been designed to monitor latching emergency push buttons located inside cold stores and give audio as well as visual alarms if someone is trapped inside. It can be panel door or wall mounted, is backed up by batteries and has mains failure alert mechanisms, as well as mute and repeat features.
Shaun Evers, managing director of Stonegate Instruments said: “The current pressure on employers to continually improve the health and safety of their staff is reflected in the increase in sales of our Trapped Personnel Alarm this year. Making cold store environments safer places to work has been the driving force behind the innovative design of our Trapped Personnel Alarm.”

“The MK:427 Noise Sensor has a continuous 4-20mA loop output that can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructure thus eliminating the need for third party software and complex installation and maintenance. The standard 30 – 100 dB(A) range is ideal for most sites but can also be adjusted for specific applications.”
He continued….
“The robust outdoor microphone assembly has proven reliability for long term permanent use in even the harshest of outdoor environments. Regular scheduling for remote calibration of the system is achieved with it’s built in auto- calibration system for compliance with international noise measurement standards. Installation is very straightforward as a standard mounting kit is supplied and Cirrus Environmental offers the option of a heavy duty wall-mounted kit. For indoor noise monitoring / control applications we can offer our innovative ZE:908 sensor systems”
Given the ever increasing need to accurately monitor and control the environmental impact of noise generated by industrial processes the MK:427 Outdoor Noise Sensor affords companies an effective means of managing noise levels.

Outdoor Noise Monitoring
Measurement of environmental noise outside, or around the perimeter of a site demands an instrument which is rugged. The popular NoisePro from Shawcity Limited (UK) is the most rugged of Noise Dose-meters, and is commonly used for industrial noise dose and sound level measurement.And now there is an outdoor kit, protecting the instrument in a compact, watertight case, whilst allowing the boom microphone to operate effectively whilst the NoisePro is mounted unobtrusively from perimeter fencing.
Noise data is datalogged at any interval you choose, and includes Leq, Lmax, Lpk and Lmin. You can collect 60 hours of data at oneminute interval logging. The disposable alkaline battery allows 50 hours – two days -of unattended operation. Data can be retrieved in seconds using the powerful software supplied. Once downloaded, you can view graphs, formatted reports, statistical data, and overall summary You can of course use the NoisePro as a standard dosemeter, monitoring noise in the workplace, or plug in a rigid boom microphone to use it as an inexpensive Intrinsically Safe datalogging Sound Level Meter. It sets new standards in value for noise dosemeters, providing features previously only found in larger, heavier, highly-priced instruments.
