ith a strong commitment to safety innovation, JSP’s Research and Development team have designed a


range of Sonis® Ear Defenders which peaks at an unbeaten SNR of 37. Developed in partnership with a leading research facility in the field of acoustic engineering, this Sonis® range is available with a Headband or Helmet mounted. Manufactured in Oxfordshire, the Sonis® cups can be


coloured to meet a corporate identity and can also be printed with the latest robotic printing machines with a company logo. Great for improved brand recognition and to prevent theft with a minimum order quantity of only 40 Sonis® Ear Defenders. Since the PPE Regulation update reclassified hearing


protection to a category 3 risk product, it is now more important than ever for employers to provide their staff with the correct hearing protection and to fully understand that employees are adequately protected.

project is being overseen by the USACE and involves the removal of 48,000ft of single conductor oil impregnated paper insulated copper cable, eight oil filled pipe cables and 8,000ft of steel pipe; and the subsequent installation of 48,000ft of single-conductor copper cable with 133% EPR insulation, including 96 total class 3- 15kv cable terminations. The original idea for the Fort Randall project was to use a


fixed cable tray/roller system, but the cable movement caused by thermodynamic forces meant that a snaked system was found to be more appropriate. Ellis’ bespoke solution required USACE modifications to the existing steel angle supporting structures to accommodate both its Centaur cable saddles and Centaur anchors.

Thorn’s Aquaforce Pro sets new standard for moisture-resistant LED lighting


T


he latest addition to the Thorn Aquaforce family of luminaires, Aquaforce Pro takes moisture and dust-resistant lighting to a new


level. Thorn Aquaforce is already established as the ideal luminaire for damp and dusty conditions and now the brand-new IP66-rated Aquaforce Pro offers numerous improvements over its predecessor Aquaforce II, including enhanced performance and greater versatility. And with efficacy as high as 141lm/W, it’s a highly cost-effective option too. Aquaforce Pro features DALI dimming and a built-in corridor function, using a presence/absence detector to dim


down and turn off automatically when an area is not in use. Luminaires can be controlled individually or in groups, and can even connect to each other wirelessly, enabling sophisticated control with no new wiring for refurbishment projects.

solutions for end users and customers alike. However, on this particular occasion, they were able to provide a very different solution, when they came to the rescue of electrician, Jason Price, of Jason Price Electrical Services, whose hand was badly injured when a cable rod by another supplier splintered during use. Now, thanks to the generosity of Carl Kammerling, Jason is the proud owner of a C.K MightyRods PRO Cable Rod Set, which offer total protection against splinters due to the unique SplinterShieldTM coating.


A The story came to light when William Sheridan from Carl Kammerling


was visiting a customer - Seryn Electrical, in Ross on Wye. It was during conversation with Elaine Powell, the owner of the business, that she learned C.K MightyRods PRO are 100% splinterproof. She then recounted the story of Jason, who had suffered an injury from a different brand of cable rods.


Elaine Powell commented: “As a qualified electrician myself (Elaine was the first qualified female electrician in Wales over 25 years ago), I fully understand the importance of safety. Cable rods can make light work of cable routing, but I was really upset to learn of Jason’s injury and, as a result, cable rod sales have plummeted since the accident. Customer confidence is of paramount importance to me and, as soon as I heard about the quality and the unique splinterproof feature that C.K MightyRods PRO provide, I had no hesitation in stocking them and sales are already increasing due to increased customer confidence”.


Jason Price of Jason Price Electrical Services commented: “I have been in business for over 25 years now and was a loyal user of cable rods in my work. But back in January a cable rod I was using splintered when I was pulling them through. The splinter went straight into my hand and I had to go to hospital to have it surgically removed. The doctors didn’t want to remove the splinter because of any potential nerve damage, so the splinter is still in my hand to this day and I was off work for over a month.
