L


et’s be honest, a totally enclosed dark tank in a hazardous area which needs inspecting,


cleaning or repairing is never going to win a workplace of the month award. You need good portable lighting just to see where you are going, let alone carry out the task. If you are working in a team there will be


floodlights in use in different locations within the tank and the last thing you want is to be dazzled by the glare of your own light or those of your colleagues. Aware of the problem Wolf Safety, world


leaders in portable and temporary safety lighting, have found the ideal solution. Their design team has developed an easily portable LED task floodlight, designed to reduce beam glare when working in potentially explosive atmospheres. The robust LinkEx WF-250XL Floodlite, easy to


carry and more economical than comparable units, produces more than 3,000 lumens of white light, more than enough to illuminate a 5m square tank or similar space without dazzling. With full application support available from Wolf’s


technical team the WF-250XL offers an efficient, cost effective and highly versatile lighting solution for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, even in the world’s harshest environments. It also incorporates Wolf’s unique SOVI technology


which alerts the user if lights are running outside certified and optimal voltage ranges, maximising safety and performance. Both LV and HV units are

certified safe down to zero volts, as are Wolf’s WF- 300XL and LX-400/E luminaires. “Users tell us our more powerful WF-300XL


Floodlite, which provides over 6,000 lumens, is great but can be too intense when working in small spaces,” says Michael Morley, Wolf Safety’s technical director. “This new product not only solves that problem but also


offers great lighting performance in


confined spaces. “It effectively


illuminates work areas when using a limited power supply, providing the optimum level of light for working in confined


spaces at lower cost. It’s also lighter and more compact than similar products, is easily


carried and consumes less electrical power.” Fully compliant with the latest ATEX and IECEx


standards, including OPIS (optical intrinsic safety), the unit is fitted with a highly reliable LED array designed to provide at least 100,000 hours of working life. The product’s design and construction incorporate cooling fins which ensure effective heat dissipation for the LED array. Linkable sockets enable numerous floodlights


to be connected in a string from a single power source.


Its low power consumption make the


WF-250XL ideal when multiple light configurations are required: up to eight WF- 250XL units can be run from one Wolf transformer in different strings or configurations, helping operators to keep overall costs down. Alternatively, other combinations include four


WF-250XL units plus four of Wolf’s LX-400 luminaires (or two of the more powerful WF- 300XL floodlights), which can be run simultaneously from one transformer. www.wolfsafety.com


E-COLORS SAFETY TOOL LAUNCHED IN THE UK H


illmont Associates has become the first company in the UK to launch the world-


renowned E-Colors Personality Diversity Indicator (PDI) system to support companies operating in high-risk industries. The revolutionary PDI training system, which is


used by leading global companies such as Chevron, has been proven to improve communication, productivity and safety in hazardous environments. The E-Colors system allows organisations to better understand specific personality styles within their teams, and in turn, increase engagement, productivity, and safety levels. The E-Colors helps to identify team members


within distinctive personality styles based on traits using a simple PDI questionnaire, with each

personality signified by four colours; red (the doer), yellow (the socialiser), green (the thinker) and blue (the relator). Organisations and individuals can use


the knowledge acquired from the questionnaires to understand how people with different E-Colors may act in specific circumstances, which will in turn allow them to improve communication and put in place preventative measures and training – significantly reducing the risk of incidents on sites in high-risk industries. The innovative system helps businesses and


their staff, who may be working across multiple sites, contracts and hazardous environments to build highly cohesive teams that will be more cooperative and effective in achieving goals.


Billed as a ‘Tool for Life’, E-Colors users


benefit from ongoing workshops and coaching sessions to ensure that individuals truly understand and get the most out of the tool. Hillmont Associates will become a strategic


business partner for organisations, providing everything from group to one-to-one coaching for participants, through to comprehensive Self &
