UK Focus on Personal Safety at Work xi Bespoke dust monitoring/alarm solution
Following advice from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), a large UK manufacturer was required to monitor airborne particulates in and around its paint shop, and to automatically raise visual and audible alarms when potentially dangerous conditions arise. was therefore contacted, and Jay Neermul, Ashtead Technology’s Environmental Sales Manager, visited the site to assess the requirements.
With remote communication and the ability to measure all of the key dust fractions simultaneously, Jay concluded that the most appropriate instruments would be the TSI DustTrak Environmental 8543 MCERTS Outdoor Dust & Aerosol Monitors (TSI DTE). “By continuously monitoring total PM, PM10, PM2.5 and PM1, these instruments provide a complete picture of the particulate levels that represent a threat to staff health,” he comments. “With MCERTS certifi cation these monitors also have the proven levels of performance that are required to operate continuously and reliably.”
The TSI DTE instruments continuously monitor particulate levels and transmit data to a cloud- based system which can be accessed via PC or mobile APP. This provides an opportunity to view secure monitoring data 24/7 from any location, which means that staff will be able to correlate process conditions with aerosol levels so that opportunities for operational improvements can be identifi ed. The system is also able to issue alarms via text or email, however, this application demanded visual and audible alarms so that staff can be evacuated immediately. The TSI DTE does not provide this function, so Ashtead’s engineers developed and trialled a solution that incorporates the advantages of the monitoring system with a bespoke audible and visual alarm capability.
The resulting monitoring system demonstrated full compliance with the site’s monitoring requirements, so three systems were ordered in July 2019 and delivered in the fi rst week of August.
“This project exemplifi es Ashtead’s ability to develop a monitoring solution that meets the precise needs of a client,” comments Jay Neermul. “Our website details the wide range of standard products that we stock, but a quick call to our technical staff allows customers to ensure that they buy or rent the best equipment for their specifi c application, even if that requires systems engineering on our part.”

a1-cbiss Launch 3M
email: For More Info, email: email:
Fall Protection Products a1-cbiss have recently added the 3M fall protection equipment to complement a range of respiratory devices, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and gas detection instrumentation. a1-cbiss will be working alongside 3M to carry out site surveys to evaluate various onsite risks and provide various confi ned space [training courses](
https://ilmt.co/PL/9Zz6). Risks could include open unguarded rooftops, ladder or scaffolding access or confi ned space entry.
The Dangers of Working at Height Working at height or entering confi ned spaces are considered a potentially high risk activity and is the biggest cause of workplace fatalities. According to HSE published statistics, between 30 and 40 workers are fatally injured as a result of a fall from height at work each year. And in the UK alone, there are over 3000 major injuries relating to falls at height each year. Due to the recognition that working at height is a potentially hazardous activity, the Health & Safety Executive has developed stringent requirements for fall protection. Our aim is to help you to select the right equipment for your needs whilst conforming to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Why Book a Site Survey With a1-cbiss a1-cbiss understand the challenges involved with Working at Height or Confi ned Space Entry and strive to offer high quality, innovative products that will keep you safe at work.
Site survey carried out by specialists to identify all site risks, compliance with regulations, product advice, order the right products fi rst time, confi dence in product use. We can advise you on our wide range of Fall Protection such as body harnesses, lanyards, rescue devices, tripods, fall arrest and safety products ensuring you are compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, Confi ned Space Regulations 2009 or the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2016.

New combination of robust tablet and DSP-based analyser for range of occupational health and environmental monitoring applications
Reinforcing its position at the forefront of sound and vibration instrumentation and software, AcSoft has introduced the latest NoisePAD four-channel real time acoustics and vibration analyser from SINUS. The combination of robust 8” tablet and DSP-based analyser is ideal for a range of automotive, NVH, aerospace, aeroacoustic, building acoustic and environmental monitoring applications, as well as engineering services, quality assurance and research and development.
When used in conjunction with the fl exible Sinus SAMURAI™ software, NoisePAD is a four-channel sound level meter with real-time, third-octave fi lters and FFT-analyser. The measurement system allows the recording of audio signals up to 20 kHz bandwidth.
All connectors are protected against water and dust with rubber protection cups allowing the NoisePAD to be used outdoors as well as in the offi ce with 12 hour operation and on board 4G, GPS and WiFi.
With bright TFT display, a very low power consumption and full connectivity, the NoisePAD unites the performance of a high quality measuring device with the functionality of a modern Windows tablet PC.

The universal SAMURAI 3.0 software package offers real time noise and vibration analysis offers comprehensive evaluation functions for post-processing. The Base package includes data recorder and FFT analyser.
“ I rant and rave about noise pollution. ” — Robert Carlyle
The acoustic bundle comprises Class 1 sound level meter allowing simultaneous measurements with the frequency weightings A, C, Z and the time weightings Fast, Slow and Impulse.
The sound level meter also supports the processing of percentiles, automatic impulse detection, impulsive and low frequency characteristics as well as markers and triggers. The acoustic bundle also includes 1/3 octave analyser and reveberation time measurement.
The vibration bundle includes additional transfer FRF, vibration meter, Zoom FFT and Order tracking.
A number of software options are available for SAMURAI 3.0 including post processing, automation, building acoustics, building vibration measurement, fractional octaves, NoiseCam, tracking, room acoustic measurement and sound intensity and sound power.
The latest NoisePAD meets a range of standards: IEC 61260 (class 1 fi lter); DIN EN SO 8041, ISO- 2631, ISO 5349, ISO 8662 UNI 2614, UNI 11048 and UNI 9916 (HVMA weighting fi lters); DIN ISO 7919, ISO 2954 and ISO 10816 (evaluation of mechanical vibration) and IP54 rated with Lemo NIM- CAMAC protecting caps.
