Draeger and MRS come together in a collaborative approach to better support industry in keeping people safe at work. Stuart Hoult, MRS CEO, says the idea was
borne out of a chance conversation that realised that both organisations shared a common purpose of keeping people safe: “Dräger has always been at the forefront of technology and product development. Our expertise is in the application of these products and how they can be best used in an operational environment. By working together, we can offer a total solution for industry and ensure we remain true to our purpose of keeping people safe,” he says. “Dräger’s breathing apparatus equipment is a leader in its field, and the equipment we choose to use.” Liz Millward, marketing manager, Emergency
and Rescue Services at Draeger Safety UK, says the two businesses’ values are closely aligned: “MRS only works with businesses that prioritise

safety – a critical standpoint when working in such high-risk industries. We believe the partnership is an ideal combination of expertise and will benefit both parties greatly, as well as the wider industry.” The partnership is being developed using a
phased approach, beginning with the purchase of 75 new Dräger PSS AirBoss Active Self-contained breathing apparatus and 80 of the new Type 4 unlimited life cylinders by MRS, ensuring the equipment used represents the latest technology. Future phases of the partnership will also
see the creation of a pathway to better support industry in developing and implementing cohesive, cross-industry solutions-led rescue arrangements.

Boss training partnership to Bring Better training options to wolverhaMpton
N
ational training provider Boss Training has announced a partnership with PLT training to
provide new facilities for trainees. The partnership will see the relocation
of Boss Training’s current Wednesbury training centre into more modern facilities at Showell Road in Wolverhampton, currently operated by PLT Training. The move means that Wolverhampton
will have a one-stop-shop for a huge variety of health and safety training courses, with Boss Training bringing its first rate IPAF, PASMA, UKATA and CITB Training Courses to the centre. PLT Training currently offers NEBOSH, Confined Spaces, Forklift and First Aid training courses. Boss Training managing director Andrew
Murphy said, “We are very much looking forward to moving into such a thriving area as Wolverhampton and excited at the opportunities this will bring. Murphy continues, “PLT are a fantastic company with a similar outlook to ourselves.
DOT’s bespoke design allows it to manage
the drone’s cameras and automatically control how it takes photographs. It is simple to operate; the software can be linked to a tablet device to set up a turbine inspection and receive data. Crucially, the system reduces the need for skilled operators to undertake inspections, therefore lowering the chance for human error, due to its straightforward set-up process and sophisticated software. Kostas Karachalios, CEO of Perceptual
With a combined 60+ years in the construction industry, we will be able to offer customers old and new an even greater level of service and a wider range of courses.” By forming the partnership, Boss Training is
bringing better facilities to their trainees, where they will deliver vital manufacturing and construction industry training.

Robotics, commented: “DOT represents the pinnacle of processing turbine inspection data, combining state-of-the-art data analysis with fast, high-quality imagery and a software system that totally manages the movements and activities of the drone device. We also wanted to make DOT simple and easy for our customers to use ‘off the shelf’, thereby removing dependence on the skills of the operator to determine the quality of the turbine inspection. DOT requires minimal training to use effectively and can integrate into customers’ own servers, all of which lowers the associated operational costs.”

undertake in-depth turbine inspections and quickly analyse the data collected. The company has had DOT in development since its inception and is overjoyed to officially bring it to market. The new drone system has been designed to collect high-quality data from turbines in less than 20 minutes, whilst offering low operational costs for customers and minimal training for operators. Another key element is DOT’s safety features as the system has been designed to avoid any potential collision with the turbine. DOT is named after two prominent female

The exclusive software product, designed by Perceptual Robotics, allows drones to use laser and camera sensors to understand the environment the device is in, plan its trajectory and efficiently collect the data required from the turbines.
