Health & Safety NEW IBC Reception Stations from CSO Technik Ltd Minimise waste – maximise safety http://www.csotechnik.com/products/waste-water-equipment/ ancillary-equipment/ibc-reception-station IBC containers are an ideal solution for many industrial liquid handling and dosing applications. However, it is not always easy to empty an IBC completely or safely if hazardous chemicals are being dosed. CSO Technik’s new range of IBC reception stations provide an ideal solution to maximise safety and minimise waste. The high-density polyethylene reception station has an integral bund to capture spills, an angled platform to ensure the IBC is com pletely emptied, quick action hose connection, sight level and fork lifting points to enable easy relocation on site.

With attenuation exceeding 100 dB for most profiles, the mechanical and electrical properties makes this high performance metal alloy ideal for EMI/ RFI shielding, providing shielding effectiveness over an extremely broad frequency range giving a high deflection range and long life without compression set. BeCu gaskets give maximum spring properties for strength and fatigue resistance. DiamondBack shielding, with a textured contact surface, increases attenuation at 2.5 GHz and above. The non-abrasive texturing can be applied to most standard profiles to achieve up to 20dB attenuation improvement at high frequencies without raising the compression force. To avoid galvanic action between contacting metals a variety of plating options are available. Many profiles are offered in standard thickness or low compression.

As well as a moral obligation to ensure those workers’ safety, employers must comply with myriad legal duties with regard to work at height. Training is a crucial part of compliance, as employers must understand how to plan and manage work at height safety so that workers can carry it out without incurring harm to themselves, or causing it to others. Altitude Height Safety – a brand new company within the JSP Group – is dedicated to providing quality height safety and rescue training for all industry sectors. The company recently launched an initial programme of five courses covering the main elements of working at height for employers and their workers. www.jsp.co.uk New Showa 240 gloves protect hands from arc flash burns and cuts The new Showa 240 glove, has been added to the range of hand protection solutions by Globus, a British company and world leader in protecting hands.
